The Storm Prediction Center issued a Tornado Watch for several counties in the Ozarks on Sunday, and the KY3 First Alert Weather Team said it was tracking the threat of tornadic storms and heavy rain as the day unfolds.
The watch puts residents in the region on alert for fast-changing weather conditions, with tornadoes not guaranteed but severe storms still possible during the watch period. Heavy rain is also in play, adding a second hazard to the same stretch of Sunday weather.
The watch is part of ongoing severe weather monitoring across the Ozarks, but the specific counties included have not been named. That leaves one important gap for people trying to judge whether the warning applies to their own community, even as the broader threat remains active.
For now, the key development is the watch itself: several Ozarks counties are under a Tornado Watch on Sunday, and forecasters are continuing to track whether the storm setup produces tornadic storms, damaging rain or both.
