Today: Cool, but nice... Tonight & Tuesday: Thunderstorms

Today will be a bit cool and cloudy, but nice, ahead of a storm system that will bring torrential rain tonight and Tuesday. Expect showers and thunderstorms to spreads northeast across the Kansas-Missouri border after 5 PM tonight, with torrential rain and some hail possible through early Tuesday morning. 

There should be a bit of a break in the storms Tuesday morning, but another round of strong thunderstorms will develop again as we reach Tuesday afternoon, and the afternoon storms will not only exacerbate the threat of flash flooding, but will also come with a more potent potential for severe weather; with strong winds, large hail, flash flooding, and isolated tornadoes as threats. Stay weather aware!
