Wider weather episode

During the afternoon and evening of April 18, 2024, discrete supercell thunderstorms developed along a cold front moving through the bi-state area. These storms were initially capable of producing large hail and damaging wind gusts, but became tornadic as additional thunderstorms formed along the front. Due to the additional thunderstorms, storms congealed into a QLCS that impacted the St. Louis metro area. The QLCS was responsible for a tornado and straight line wind damage in this area. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported with these thunderstorms.
