ST. LOUIS — Tornado sirens were sounding in parts of the St. Louis area Thursday. It is an active weather day and tornado warnings were issued for the area early this morning. A tornado watch was issued at around 1:30 p.m. for much of the area and is in effect until 9:00 p.m.

This morning’s storms moved through the area very fast, at around 55 mph. The first tornado warning was issued for the St. Louis area at around 7:30 a.m. The first round of weather is moved out of the area after 8:30 a.m.

While models show the atmosphere stabilizing behind these storms by late morning, the instability looks to come back in full force this afternoon. We’ll also have leftover outflow boundaries from this morning’s convection, which could further enhance our chances for severe weather.

Storms look to redevelop mid to late afternoon and continue through the evening hours. All modes of severe weather will be possible. Storms look to exit the region by midnight, with maybe just a few lingering sprinkles.
