NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Waves of thunderstorms continue today across the Ozarks into Nashville with the potential again for tornados along with monster hail.

Radar through 2:30 PM ET showed a monster cell with baseball sized hail south of St. Louis.
