Regions of Missouri

Missouri is too big for one forecast. The state splits into 3 regions, each with its own site — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record, scoped to the counties that actually share a sky. Every city in a region gets its own page underneath it.

The 3 Regions

St. Louis
The Gateway · I-70/64 · The Confluence
OPEN →
St. Louis sits where the Missouri meets the Mississippi, and both rivers have taken the metro apart — 1993 put the confluence under water for months. It is far enough north to ice over and far enough south to run 100°F with Gulf dewpoints, and the spring severe line comes through from the west with nothing to slow it down.

Kansas City
The City of Fountains · I-70/35 · Northwest Missouri
OPEN →
Kansas City is as far into tornado country as a metro this size gets: the dryline storms come off the Kansas plains and the metro sits at the end of the run. It also holds the state's temperature swings — ice storms that shut I-70 and I-35, and July heat indices past 110 off the Missouri River bottoms.

Queen City of the Ozarks · I-44 · The Plateau
OPEN →
The Ozarks take the worst of Missouri's severe weather. Joplin's 2011 tornado is the deadliest single tornado in the modern record, and the plateau sits at the east end of the corridor that feeds them. The hills also hold cold air and flash flood hard — the same terrain that makes the lakes makes the water rise fast.
