ST. LOUIS — Parts of the 5 On Your Side viewing area are under a severe thunderstorm warning Saturday night.

Crawford, Franklin and Washington Counties are under the severe thunderstorm warning until 9:30.

A tornado watch was posted until midnight for areas west of St. Louis and St. Charles County. It includes Montgomery, Warren, Gasconade, Franklin down to Phelps and Reynolds Counties in Missouri. No Illinois counties are under the watch.

No tornado warnings have been issued thus far in our counties in the watch as of 7:30 p.m. The tornado warnings that have been issued outside of our area have only been radar indicated so far.

Any wind-related storm reports in the system have been southwest of Springfield, Missouri.

The temperature has gone up to 55 in St. Louis, our new high for the day, but the storm is coming through with a powerful cold front.  

After the front moves through, it will remain windy in the area late tonight and most of Sunday. We could see wind gusts up to 45 mph Sunday.
