Weather Update: Strong - Severe Storms Possible Today

The Showers and thunderstorms rapidly developing across KC metro and points south, brining some much needed rainfall to the area. Maybe some small hail in the stronger storms, but the real threat comes later as we warm into the 70s ahead of a strong cold front. Severe thunderstorms may develop rather early this afternoon over eastern Kansas (1 PM or so) and move through west central and central Missouri during the mid-late afternoon and evening. The bulk of our expected rainfall also comes with this later activity.
