Significant Severe Weather, Including Tornadoes, Possible in the Ozarks Monday

Potentially significant severe weather will impact the Ozarks Monday and Monday night, with a widespread area that could get multiple rounds of severe storms.

The National Weather Service says all hazards are possible, including tornadoes.

Some strong tornadoes are possible in areas south of a line from Joplin to Monett, where a level 4 out of 5 “moderate risk” is in effect.

Hail up to the size of tennis balls and damaging winds of 70 to 80 miles per hour are possible.

In addition to severe weather, flooding is a concern in the Ozarks, with a Flood Watch in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning.

Multiple rounds of showers and storms will result in many areas getting 1 to 3 inches of additional rainfall, with localized areas seeing up to 4 to 6 inches.
