The National Weather Service in Springfield says severe thunderstorm chances are increasing for Wednesday night into Thursday morning in the Ozarks.
Forecasters say moisture levels across the Gulf of Mexico are elevated, and this airmass will move into the Ozarks prior to Wednesday night.
However, instability levels for Wednesday night and Thursday morning remain uncertain, and that can play a big role in our severe storm potential.
Damaging winds of at least 60 miles per hour are the greatest threat with any storms at this time.
