ST. LOUIS (KMOX) -- This afternoon's tornado watch is canceled for southern and eastern parts of the KMOX listening area.
National Weather Service says the risk of severe storms and tornadoes has ended for the St. Louis metro, although we can still expect non-severe soaking rains. There is still a risk of dangerous weather in far southeast Missouri and southern Illinois, closer to Paducah, Kentucky.
