Tracking afternoon showers and storms with isolated severe possible
TODAY: Expect a high in the low 80s, at least until rain begins this afternoon. We'll likely begin to see showers and storms overspread the region by this afternoon, from west to east. This will take some time, so many east of Columbia and Jefferson City will remain dry until after 3 p.m. Rain may begin in Columbia and Jefferson City as soon as late morning depending on development ahead of the cold front, but our best rain chances will be in the afternoon. Our severe threat is low, but pockets of greater instability will contribute to a chance for isolated strong storms embedded in the cluster of rainfall that overspreads the region tonight. Our concern would be for one or two storms to be capable of small to potentially severe hail, and some gusty winds. Anywhere from a quarter of an inch to a half inch of rain will be possible, with locally higher amounts from more convective storms.
