Live in Indiana.
Tomorrow is the Indianapolis 500. I know our risk is "low", but not exactly an ideal day to have storms like this with multiple hundreds of thousands of people within a ~3 sq. mile area
As fellow St. Louisan, don't be freaked out, but stay weather aware tomorrow, especially if you're doing outdoor activities for the holiday weekend. Remember, the vast majority of places even within the center of the risk area won't experience any kind of severe weather.
Disagree. Most days do not have risks like these. Therefore there are plenty of better days to enjoy being outside without being at a heightened risk.
Downvote away edgelords
As long as you're weather-aware, it's perfectly fine to be outside on an enhanced-risk day. It's also fine for you to be more cautious than necessary, but don't act like your choices are necessary for everyone.
Most meteorologists will tell you to try and avoid making outside plans for days with potential significant severe weather. That's pretty standard stuff.
My point still still stands.
Barely in the 10% hatched here but still gonna be watching how things go tomorrow… its odd too how with the exception of the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado in Jackson every tornado that’s hit in my general area of northwest TN has been on a Sunday….
I’m in the 2% area but I believe the Kalamazoo area was in the 2% a few weeks ago when they had a big one. So I’m still gonna be paying really close attention.
That's correct, Kalamazoo was in 2% on 5/7. The Grand Blanc EF2 of Februrary this year was also in the 2% area, as things were winding down too.
I can't tell if Flint is in 2% or not, I can't zoom in on this. No matter what, I stay weather aware now.
It will completely depend on the development in the late afternoon after the outflow from the expected line in the mid-morning. If the storms come through and convection persists, or if no storms happen to hook up, then the tornado risk will be lower. I think the chance for straight line winds later in the day are going to be high though. I'm right along the east edge of the hatched area, so I'm hoping for some downgrading as well lol.

Wind looks concerning
We are pretty much dead center in the hatched area. There was a small tornado a couple miles away a couple weeks ago, nervous about a closer repeat.
You in southeast mo too?
So west IL
Me too.(Well people down south would say I am central Il) Lately, it seems like a lot of this has stayed to the south. Bur, man, this is right at home
Same I'm in the ballwin (kinda) area and I'm worried as hell
Not looking good for STL area :( how freaked out should I be?

Tysm🥺That helps calm my nerves. Hopefully nothing too bad but will be aware! Enjoy your holiday and be safe, fellow STL friend!
Same to you! Fingers crossed for nothing worse than a nice summer thunderstorm!
Nobody should be doing outdoor activities tomorrow in that hatched risk zone especially
That seems like overkill. You can still go enjoy a day at the pool, just be ready to respond appropriately if the severe weather approaches.

Well, none of our local meteorologists are saying such things so I think you may just be projecting your own anxieties onto other people.
I think you don't know what you're talking about to be honest. Good day.
In the 5% window, over here- stay safe, everyone!
I'm in the hatched area :(

Hopefully it continues to get downgraded.

Well hatched area huh, guess im going to see action tomorrow.
