Weather Update: Thursday Severe Storms Roll In

When you're outdoors today and tomorrow if you listen closely you may be able to hear the Beach Boys music playing in the wind. That and the smell of coconut suntan lotion. Yep, it'll feel like summer both days with afternoon temperatures well into the 80s, maybe even a few 90 degree readings. And tomorrow will even have summertime humidity. Que up the music!

While we're at it felt we could give... you a heads up on the potential for strong to severe storms on Thursday(see the second image below). We'll likely have some storms rolling through when the sun comes up Thursday morning. While there is a small risk these could be severe, the greater risk will be in the afternoon and evening hours. The shaded area on the map represents the potential for "significant severe" storms. Significant severe = 2 inch or larger diameter hail, winds 74 mph or higher and tornadoes EF2 intensity or greater. We believe large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats with a very small chance for any tornadoes in northern and west central MO and extreme eastern KS.

Weather Update: Severe Weather Later On This Week

The weather is certainly nice out there, and will remain so for the next couple days; however, strong to severe thunderstorms will be on our doorstep this Wednesday night, and will likely affect the area with widespread thunderstorm activity through the day on Thursday. At this time it appears the main threats will be heavy rain, frequent lightning, strong winds, and perhaps some large hail. While the threat for tornadoes looks low at this point, one or two isolated tornadoes cannot be completely ruled out.
