Severe Weather Possible this evening and tomorrow evening

Looks like Spring has sprung, and with the warm temperatures comes the threat of thunderstorms. Scattered storms this morning will dissipate by the late morning hours, but more storms are expected late tonight, moving northeast from northeast Kansas through northwest Missouri. 

The stormy activity will then shift farther south, into eastern Kansas and northern Missouri, for Wednesday and Thursday. There will be a threat of strong winds, hail, and flash flooding as the overnight storms move across the region both tonight and again Wednesday night. 

The threat for severe weather looks to taper off some Thursday, though we still expect to have storms lingering through the day.
