Hurricane-Force Winds & Tornadoes Could Impact Missouri Saturday

It's expected to be another volatile weather day for Missouri again today as models and forecasts show hurricane-force winds and tornadoes very well could impact parts of the state today.

This harrowing weather outlook for Missouri comes directly from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. This is the map they shared where winds could reach nearly 75 mph on Saturday. Parts of southwestern Missouri are in the forecast area and it reaches as far north as Kansas City.

The National Weather Service in Saint Louis, Missouri is in agreement of the wind and tornado danger and shared this graphic Saturday morning.

As the storms move across Missouri all day Saturday, there is a definite chance of tornadoes, too and it affects all parts of the state.

While Kansas and Oklahoma are likely the most dangerous areas for tornadic storms Saturday, Missouri could also see violent storms especially Saturday afternoon and evening as models show lift will be conducive to tornado development early in the day. Fortunately, that factor is expected to decrease Saturday night.

Pay special attention and expect severe storm warnings throughout the day on Saturday in Missouri. It's entirely possible that we'll see the tragic tornadoes that created destruction in Nebraska and Iowa on Friday to have a repeat performance Saturday in some places.
