"ST. LOUIS — A powerful storm system is bringing the threat of severe weather to the bi-state region tonight. Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible through the evening hours. The threat in the metro St. Louis area increases after 9 p.m. The main threat will be for damaging wind gusts in these thunderstorms. Some storms may develop rotation, so there is the possibility of an isolated tornado.
A tornado watch is in effect for most of the KSDK viewing area, including St. Louis, St. Louis County until midnight Thursday. Tornado warnings popped up in the area after radar indicated tornados, but there are no active warnings."
"Some of the storms may have rotation adding isolated tornadoes to the threats from these storms. As the cold front passes by midnight, winds will continue to whip across the area as the intense storm system moves into the Great Lakes region.
With strong winds possible in the storm, Ameren has beefed up staffing to be prepared if the storm results in downed lines."
