All hazards are possible, including tornadoes with a boundary stalled across the area. Storms will gradually exit eastward into Missouri by midnight. In addition to the severe threat, locally heavy rainfall may contribute to localized flooding with an additional 1 to 2 inches through Wednesday morning.
