Weather Update: Possible Rain Heading Our Way

The Storms over western Missouri and eastern Kansas have weakened considerably. Areas near and south of KC may still see occasional downpours and some cloud-to-ground lightning, but the threat for damaging winds and large hail has come to an end.

What is left of these storms will reach the Brookfield/Marshall/Warrensburg/Butler areas around midnight....and the Kirksville/Moberly/Sedalia areas around 2 am (probably just showers by that point). Much cooler weather will move in for the weekend with highs in the 50s and lower 60s!
