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.
I am not an alarmist and it's not exactly breaking news anyway that Illinois sees a lot of tornadoes every Spring. However, it might bear watching 2024 in particular as past weather patterns might indicate the Land of Lincoln might be in the danger zone for twister development.

We could be approaching one of the strangest weather weeks in recent memory in Missouri as multiple systems could bring everything from tornadoes to snowfall or perhaps even both between now and the end of March.

There's good news and bad news about what many forecasters consider to be a dangerous storm system that will impact Missouri early next week. It is expected to crash Missouri temperatures and cause them to freefall more than 50 degrees in just hours, but that drop won't last long.
