I’m officially a weathercaster (and soon to be #meteorologist) for @KOMUnews! I’ll be getting my Masters Degree from @Mizzou this next school year! I kinda forgot to “officially” post about it! 😁

A strong EF-2 tornado developed near Villa Ridge and moved northeast for over 13 miles to just north of Fox Creek Friday evening. Maximum estimated wind speeds were 130 mph. Storm surveys are continuing. #stlwx #mowx

Damage surveys have confirmed an EF-1 tornado that occured Thursday evening, from Elmont, MO to the southern outskirts of Union, MO in Franklin County. Damage surveys for several other possible tornadoes continue today, and likely several more days. #MOwx #ILwx #STLwx

NEW VIDEO: I’m in Pensacola, Florida, near the border. Already at 2” and it’s still snowing heavy. This is a truly historic event. #Snow #Florida @spann @stormhour

A range of winter precipitation types are expected across the region late Saturday, Sunday and early Monday. Details are expected to become clearer through the day Friday. Travel should be avoided Sunday, if at all possible. #mowx #ilwx #stlwx

@ryanhallyall It’s as cool as it looks!

We’ve invested significantly in our production control room to implement features that allow us to go live more often & with less prep time while still offering top of the line coverage. The goal is to always be there when we need to be, even on somewhat lower risk & last minute events, without reducing quality. I’ve got a forecast video going up in a few hours & then after that I’ll be going LIVE for members only discussing the new updates with @BradArnoldWX who is visiting the wx house!

@NHC_Atlantic Wow. First one and it’s a cat 5…truly terrifying and incredible

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued across southern parts of central Missouri. These storms look to be very isolated so many of us will be staying dry (especially if you're north of I-70). Full detail at 6pm and @MicahStevensWx has you for 9 & 10!

Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the areas south of highway 50. Large hail and strong winds are the main threat! @AndrewLabitWX will have the forecast at 6pm! I’ll see you at 9/10!

Awesome to meet and talk to ya @ReedTimmerUSA! You and your team are freakin awesome! Crazy to meet you in Sidney, ND of all places. Now time to go chase some photogenic 🌪️

For the first time since September 30, 2023, COU has reached above 90 degrees (that's 257 days with temps below 90)! Temps in the 90s will stick around through the next week. #midmowx #midmo #Mowx

A Flood Watch is in effect for southern parts of the region through Sunday afternoon. #MidMowx #MoWx #MidMo

@KOMUnews Camden, Morgan, Miller, and Maries county should expect the largest amount of rainfall. Showers expected to continue heading into early Sunday morning!

Watching for overnight thunderstorm chances south of I-70! Mainly worried about flash flooding due to thunderstorms rolling over the same area throughout the night. Can't rule out some hail or strong wind gusts. #mowx #midmowx

A few thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow! One or two could be on the strong side with a few heavy downpours. Those downpours will be pretty scattered. Here’s the latest from @AndrewLabitWX komu.com/weather/foreca… #MidMoWx #MoWx #MidMo

@MrBeast Getting 2 million subscribers in a single day is insane. He just passed some YouTube channels entire lifetime in 24hrs

Yesterday was the most subscribers we’ve ever gotten in a day 😮

After 6 years we have finally avenged Pewdiepie 🥹

Strong to severe storms expected to make an entrance late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. We're in Storm Mode 2 for large hail, damaging winds, and flooding concerns as the primary threats. Lots of lighting with these storms too..maybe not the best night to go camping🏕️

Storm Mode: 11PM Monday- 5AM Tuesday. A line of storms will bring the potential for damaging wind gusts and possibly a few tornado, especially over western Missouri. Have a way to get warnings tonight that will wake you up! #MidMoWx #MoWx #MidMo @KOMUnews

A beautify shelf cloud over Columbia today! #mowx #midmowx #midmo
