Severe Weather Expected Again Overnight



If you had trouble sleeping through the night with all the thunder and lightning last night...umm...well...you may not like the forecast. More strong to severe storms will develop and move through during the overnight hours. in addition to lots of lightning, these storms will have the potential to produce large hail strong winds, and locally heavy rain.

Update...for those asking about evening activities in Kansas City, we expect the storms to hold off until midnight or later in the metro. Likely sooner...late evening...further north.
