Isolated strong to severe storms occurred across central Missouri on Monday, November 17, 2025, when the Storm Prediction Center issued a Marginal Threat (1 out of 5) for severe storms. The main threat from this elevated convection was hail. Around 4:30 PM, these storms moved into Mexico City, Missouri, where heavy rain and hail fell, resulting in hailstone drifts of 6.0-7.5 inches deep along the sides of the road and in parking lots. The following video shows just some of that hail accumulation in the city.
