Stormy Tuesday, Rainy Wednesday

A line of severe thunderstorms roared through the Ozarks on Tuesday with the strongest storms hitting areas between Joplin and Springfield. 

The National Weather Service so far has confirmed two tornados; an EF-1 that traveled just over two miles between Verona and Aurora and an EF-0 that was on the ground for just under a mile on the north side of Nixa. Several trees were uprooted, and some structure damage occurred with both twisters. 

Wind gusts were also the strongest in the Springfield Area with a 90 MPH gust reported in an area between Willard and the Springfield/Branson Airport. 

The Lakes Region did have several Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued Tuesday, but storms were not as strong, and no damage was reported. 

While there still is a Marginal to Slight Risk of severe storms today, the primary concern is continued rainfall. A Flood Watch remains in effect thru early Thursday morning.
