An enormous supercell formed over the vast skies of Amarillo, Texas, leaving onlookers in awe and reaching for their phones to document the spectacular event.
There's a brand new forecast that claims summer will be the coolest in 6 years. That's great, but before you get excited, know that this doesn't seem to apply to Missouri or Illinois and some other weather experts also don't agree.
There are some very scientific ways to measure the strength of a tornado. A new ranking attempts to combine some major factors to determine the strongest twisters Missouri has seen in the past decade. The biggest of them all was a 1,800 foot wide beast.
If you thought the wildfire smoke that brought hazy conditions to both Missouri and Illinois were interesting on Wednesday, wait until you see the conditions that are expected to intensify by Friday.
There's a good chance that skies will look a little strange over Missouri and Illinois Wednesday and it's Canada's fault. Or, at least it's something that's happening in Canada that's responsible. I'll explain.
I've heard it said that the rich only get richer. If that principle applies to moisture, the wettest county in Missouri just keeps getting wetter seeing an average of more than 50 inches of rain every single year.
We live in an era of extremes. While parts of Missouri and Illinois are flooding, others remain parched. It's so bad in the middle of Missouri that a new forecast now says the middle of the Show Me State can expect "extreme drought".
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a sunny Saturday in May of 2003 when the sky began to growl. Large anvil-like clouds began to explode overhead and by the time the day and night were done, numerous tornadoes wreaked havoc in Missouri and Illinois with a monster EF-2 roaring through Canton, Missouri and Lima, Illinois.
Here's a headscratcher for you. A new report claims that more people are moving to Saint Louis, Missouri because of perceived climate change. Hmm. Let's see if we can figure out two things. First if the report is accurate and second, if so, why?
It was thin by tornado standards, but it did plenty of damage during its very brief time on the Earth. New video shows an Iowa tornado with the view from nearly directly underneath the spiraling vortex overhead.
