Weather Update: Increasing Severe Storm Chances

We're heading into a more active weather pattern that is going to bring increasing rain chances as well as some potentially strong thunderstorms. The first of these storms will arrive late tonight with a decaying storm complex coming out of central Kansas.

Much higher chances for strong storms will exist across northern parts of Kansas and Missouri into Iowa Tuesday night. There could be some widespread heavy rain and high winds with that activity. 

So if you've missed out on the rain in this hit-and-miss weather pattern, you've got better chances coming up this week. Just be aware that some of these storms could pack a stronger punch than what we've been seeing lately.
