After golf ball size hail pelted Kimberling City, Shell Knob and other parts of the Ozarks on Sunday, more severe weather is expected by Tuesday night and Wednesday.
The National Weather Service says we have a conditional threat for severe storms Tuesday evening into the overnight hours, with the potential for isolated supercells along and west of I-49, bringing up to tennis ball size hail.
A line of storms could then move through the whole area overnight into Wednesday morning.
If storms do form, forecasters say the environment will be conducive to very large hail, significant tornadoes and damaging winds.
93-3 and A-M 560 KWTO will keep you up to date on forecast changes between now and Tuesday night, will report on any watches or warnings, and keep you up to date on damage reports.

Damaging wind gusts accompanied storms that moved through parts of the Ozarks early Sunday morning.
The storms moved from eastern Kansas and northeast Oklahoma into the southwestern Ozarks just after 2am Sunday.
The storms packed quite a punch in Kansas, with reports of multiple trees on homes and buildings in Baxter Springs.
Around 2:30am, a 79 mile per hour wind gust was measured at Joplin Regional Airport, with Jasper County 911 reporting calls just west of the airport of blown transformer.
A 61 mile per hour wind gust was measured east of Webb City as the storm moved through that town.
Firefighters in Carl Junction report a lightning strike may have sparked a house fire near Briarhaven Road and Briarwood Ridge.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch that was issued for most of the Ozarks through 7am Sunday was cancelled for areas along and west of Highway 65 by 4:30am.
More thunderstorms are expected on Sunday afternoon, but the latest from the Storm Prediction Center indicates the worst of the storms will be in southeast Missouri. The eastern Ozarks are under a Level 2 “Slight Risk” for Sunday, while Springfield and areas to the west of the metro area are under a Level 1 “Marginal Risk” of severe storms.
We’ll keep you up to date on any watches and warnings on 93-3 and A-M 560 KWTO.

Convoy of Hope is working to respond to the earthquake in Southeast Asia.
Convoy spokesperson Ethan Forhetz says it is a fluid situation and Convoy’s Disaster Response teams are working on logistics and country permissions to get essential relief supplies to the survivors.
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, especially along and west of Highway 65.
The National Weather Service says the primary hazard with these storms will be large hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging winds up to 60 to 70 miles per hour, and this activity may linger across the area through Sunday morning.
Springfield and areas west of the metro area are under a Level 2 “Slight Risk” for severe weather, with areas along and east of a line from Branson to Lebanon under a Level 1 “marginal risk” for severe storms.
There is additional potential for severe weather on Sunday across southwest Missouri.
These storms, depending on where they develop, may produce all modes of severe weather, including up to tennis ball size hail, damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour, and a few tornadoes.
The National Weather Service says if the storms that move through in Round 1 early Sunday morning are more vigorous and last longer, that will cool down the atmosphere and advance the cold front through the area quicker, with initiation of storms Sunday afternoon occurring further east of our area.
If storms quickly dissipate across the area Sunday morning, that would allow much of the Ozarks to warm and destabilize, leading to more coverage and severity of Sunday afternoon storms, with initiation occurring further west.
Currently, forecasters say a third scenario appears plausible, which would lead to the first round of storms dissipating somewhere between Highway 65 and Highway 63, off to the east of Springfield, and that’s where Sunday afternoon storms would fire up.
