Severe weather to continue

A new round of severe weather is expected to ignite as the Labor Day holiday weekend comes to a close this afternoon from southwestern Michigan and northern Illinois to Missouri.

This includes Kalamazoo, Michigan; South Bend, Indiana; Chicago and Springfield, Illinois; and St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri. The danger will reach Indianapolis this evening, when isolated severe thunderstorms will also extend back along the border of Kansas and Oklahoma.

Damaging winds, hail and flooding downpours are the greatest concerns for today and travel delays are expected. 

There is also the possibility for some isolated tornadoes in the affected areas.

Later tonight, the severe weather danger will transition to a greater flood threat as thunderstorms will track repeatedly over the corridor from central Missouri to western Ohio. This includes St. Louis and Indianapolis.
