Severe Storms Expected Today

The Summer heat and humidity will make a return to the region today, but that will bring a good chance for severe thunderstorms storms across parts of the region later this afternoon and evening. Expect storms to get going near the Nebraska-Kansas-Iowa-Missouri border region around to after 4 PM this afternoon. Storms may be particularly dangerous as they initiate, with all forms of severe weather possible; from large hail, and damaging winds; to isolated tornado’s, and flash flooding. As storms progress in the evening, they will likely congeal into a large complex of storms that will sweep southeast, with the severe threats likely transitioning to large hail and damaging wind. However, given the recent high rainfall totals across northern Missouri, flash flooding will also be a major concern; particularly in areas north of the Missouri River.
