Residents across Missouri—especially in the northern counties—should be prepared for a potentially dangerous weather weekend, with storms capable of damaging winds and heavy rain that could trigger flooding.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in St. Louis has issued a special weather statement highlighting northern Missouri as the area most at risk starting Saturday, August 9, 2025.
Forecasts indicate the possibility of isolated wind gusts up to 60 mph along with strong, possibly repeating thunderstorms that could dump several inches of rain in a short time. Localized flooding is likely in spots where storms linger.
NWS timing maps show that storms will move in at different times for cities and towns across the region, but the highest risk period will be later Saturday into Saturday night.
Safety Reminder:
-
Have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts—including phone notifications, weather radios, or local news.
-
Avoid driving through flooded roads.
-
Stay indoors during severe storms and away from windows.
With Missouri seeing repeated bouts of severe weather this year, officials urge everyone to stay weather-aware and be ready to act if warnings are issued.
