COLUMBIA, MO
(KBIA) -
Missouri's annual weather drill scheduled for Tuesday has been canceled because of a threat of severe weather over parts of the state. The drill has been rescheduled for Thursday afternoon. National Weather Service Officer Suzanne Fortin says parts of the state could be in for severe weather tomorrow. "There is a threat of severe weather mainly tomorrow during the daylight hours mainly maybe into the early evening. There is a fairly potent upper level storm system that is moving across the central plains as we speak."
Fortin says the severe weather for tomorrow does not rule out isolated tornadoes. Thursday has rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. Officials will evaluate the weather as Thursday approaches in case the drill needs to be rescheduled.
