Some fast-moving storms are expected to move into the Ozarks overnight.
“(It’ll be) between 3 and 6 a.m. or so where we might see those storms move into far Southwest Missouri and then into the Springfield area shortly thereafter.”
National Weather Service Meteorologist Drew Albert says the main threat will be hail and strong winds, although tornadoes can’t be ruled out.
