After a bill containing 'Blair's Law' was truly agreed and finally passed, Blair's mom was recognized with a standing ovation by the House. She's spent nearly 13 years advocating for this: youtube.com/watch?v=9Q1MuFkx… Story: newsroom.house.mo.gov/news/2… @BlairsSocks

While most areas will stay dry, an isolated thunderstorm or two is possible this evening. Where storms do form, they will be capable of large hail and locally damaging winds.
A map shows the greatest threat area for thunderstorms this evening. A picture of golf ball sized hail highlights this as the main threat.
