Babysitting Storms, Midnight Update

I'm up late tonight watching the storms move in from the NW. There have been some reports of trees blown down near Springfield. Here are the latest reports that just came in on our internal weather chat server:

(11:38:35 PM) nwsbot: SGF: Nixa [Christian Co, MO] trained spotter reports TSTM WND DMG at 11:00 PM CDT -- multiple trees down twelve inches or greater in diameter

(11:40:57 PM) nwsbot: SGF: Marionville [Lawrence Co, MO] broadcast media reports TSTM WND DMG at 10:35 PM CDT -- trees down on fiske street
 
(11:50:20 PM) nwsbot: SGF: Highlandville [Christian Co, MO] trained spotter reports TSTM WND DMG at 11:00 PM CDT -- tree down
 
(11:52:35 PM) nwsbot: SGF: Greenfield [Dade Co, MO] law enforcement reports TSTM WND GST of E60 MPH at 10:00 PM CDT --
 
As you can see, we do need to watch these storms, BUT I really believe they will weaken as they move into Region 8. Due to the history of the storms, we will probably see a warning in Howell County... but I doubt we will hear of any damage.
 
We'll continue to watch the storms through the night, just in case!
