Parts of two dozen state roads were closed, and some could take days to reopen.

St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer says five people died, 38 were injured and more than 5,000 homes were affected.

The weather service said that supercells are likely to develop across parts of Texas and Oklahoma Saturday afternoon before becoming a line of storms in southwest Oklahoma and parts of Arkansas , Louisiana and Texas on Saturday night .

The biggest risks include large to very large hail that could be up to 3.5 inches ( 8.9 centimeters ) in size, damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.
