NWS: Damaging wind gusts and a few thunderstorms are possible in mid-Missouri this morning

Mid-Missouri could see some heavy rain and a few thunderstorms this morning, and another round of storms is possible this evening.

National Weather Service (NWS) St. Louis meteorologist Brad Charboneau tells 939 the Eagle that storms should arrive in the Columbia, Jefferson City and Fulton areas between 8 and 9 this morning, and should be out of the area by noon. Charboneau says there could be a severe storm this morning, with damaging wind gusts being the primary threat. Some hail is also possible.

The second round of storms is expected to begin between 5-6 pm, but the NWS says those storms should stay south of the Columbia and Jefferson City areas, at this time.
