hail

Imagine watching hail fall in real-time, thanks to a high-tech Hail Camera that captures every detail with stunning clarity.

Texas just faced a storm that brought hail the size of DVDs, and it wasn't just a few pieces – some were massive!

We knew that there was a chance that Illinois could see some thunderstorms this weekend, but now the Storm Prediction Center has the state definitely in the path of what could be severe storms.

As we get closer to what is expected to be a historic storm event this Friday, this risk keeps growing for both Missouri and Illinois as forecasters now warn both states could see strong tornadoes and mammoth hail.

It appears that weather in many parts of Missouri and Illinois could get very interesting beginning Tuesday late morning/early afternoon. The expectations have now increased that both states could experience hurricane-force winds, hail and perhaps even some tornadoes.

We know that life can be dangerous. I will admit that I didn't know that Wisconsin was in so much jeopardy though until I saw 12 somewhat terrifying risk assessment maps from FEMA about potential natural disasters.

We have a better idea of what to expect from storms that will move through Missouri and Illinois this week. Strong tornadoes, big hail and violent wind damage are all possible based on official forecasts now.

If you don't like the weather in Missouri and Illinois, just wait a few minutes and it's almost certain to change. That looks to be true early next week as there is a strong tornadic event that models are showing is possible for both Missouri and Illinois.

It was not a good day to have your vehicle parked outside in Missouri recently when a vicious hailstorm crossed the state leaving incredible damage in its path. A new video share shows how the storm managed to clobber virtually every car in a St. Peters, Missouri parking lot.

It will forever be remembered as the day when the sky tried to pound Missouri into the ground. The worst hailstorm in history that began in the Kansas City area continued across Missouri until it relented just past St. Louis nearly 23 years ago.
