Weather Alert

...Gusty Thunderstorms with Small Hail and Cold Air Funnel Clouds
through Early Tonight...

Gusty thunderstorms capable of producing cold air funnel clouds
and small hail are forecast through early tonight. These cold air
funnels are developing underneath thunderstorms that are moving
across the area. Underneath these showers...spinning columns of
air that look like tornadoes may continue to develop. These
funnels usually are very brief and rarely touch the ground. If
these funnels do touch down...they most likely will not cause
damage to life or property.

Cold air funnels are due to very cool air aloft...warm moist air
near the ground...and are usually in association with a strong
area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to
little or no wind shear...they are usually weak and very brief.

(CNN) -- The Missouri Department of Health and Human Services has declared three counties near Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks COVID-19 hotspots: Camden, Miller and Morgan Counties.

The CEO at Lake Regional Health Systems said there has been a steady increase of unvaccinated COVID positive patients being admitted to the hospital over the past few weeks.

The public health community has indicated the Delta variant is present in Missouri, so the hospital assumes that is what has been sweeping the state.

About half the patients that are hospitalized need a ventilator.

Right now, the best thing health officials say you can do to help is to get vaccinated.
