Storms bring strong winds to Mid-Missouri
A strong storm system moving to our north sent a trailing cold front through Mid-Missouri Wednesday afternoon. Storms formed ahead of the front and quickly moved through from 3 to 6 PM.
By 4 PM, a large portion of Mid-Missouri from just south of Boonville to near Macon was under Severe Storm Warnings for the possibility of damaging winds.
