Saturday Afternoon & Evening Storms

Storms moving through Kansas early this morning will continue east into western Missouri where they will dissipate; and while these morning storms are not expected to have much severe potential, they will help set the stage for storms later in the day that will be severe. Current expectations are that more thunderstorms will redevelop in eastern Kansas around noon, with this round of storms once again moving east into Missouri. 

While there will be a threat of severe weather across eastern Kansas and all of Missouri, the focus for the most damaging and dangerous severe weather will be in areas along and south of I-70 between Noon and 9 PM. 

The threats from the severe weather will include all types, ranging from large hail and damaging winds of 60+ MPH to isolated tornadoes; though the highest potential for tornadoes will be across extreme southeast Kansas and far southwest Missouri early this afternoon as storms begin to develop and move east. 

Today would be a great day to review your severe weather plans and practice your weather awareness!
