(KTTS News) — Severe weather rolled through the Ozarks early Monday morning, prompting a couple of tornado warnings.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for Cedar and Dade counties at 1:30 a.m. for a radar confirmed tornado.

A second tornado warning was issued for Dallas and Hickory counties around 2:25 a.m. because of rotation indicated on radar.

The National Weather Service says its radar picked up debris signatures in several places, including Fair Play, east of Golden City, west of Arcola, and west of Greenfield.

It will be up to survey teams to determine if there were any tornadoes.

The storms did do some damage.

The Avilla Fire Department reported parts of a barn on a fence and power lines down west of Highway 37 in Jasper County.

Humansville Fire reported barn damage and tree limbs down from straight line winds on Highway V east of Humansville.

Strong wind gusts were also reported as the storms blew through the area.

A 56 mile-per-hour wind gust was reported in Springfield and a 58 mile-per-hour wind gust was reported in Walnut Shade in Taney County.

Scattered power outages were also reported.

At 3:30 a.m., there were about 2,500 customers without power in Taney County, about 1,000 without power in Douglas County, and around 880 customers in the dark in Jasper County.

Greene County reported more than 500 customers without power.

But by 9 a.m. only a handful of outages remained.

About 700 customers were still without power in Pulaski County, along with around 750 customers in the dark in neighboring Camden County.

Cedar County had about 200 customers without power.

The Ozarks will have warm temperatures through Wednesday.

The next chance for storms will be Thursday and Friday with a chance for rain and snow.
