Thunderstorm Timing for Today

Hazardous Heat Possible By Next Week

Strong/Severe Storms are expected to continue through the afternoon around/along the I-70 corridor with a stationary boundary. Primary hazards will be lightning/heavy rainfall, with the potential for strong winds and small hail in the strongest storms. Although storms are generally moving northerly, new storm development is possible along any outflow boundaries from older thunderstorms. Have a way to receive warnings, and remain weather aware through the remainder of the afternoon!

Strong/Severe storms will continue through this afternoon and into the evening. Primary hazards remain heavy rainfall and lightning, with strong wind/small hail still possible in the strongest storms through the afternoon. Some uncertainty in the exact timing/location of storms remains, so stay up to date with the latest forecast and remain weather aware!

A Flood Watch remains in effect through Friday morning, with excessive rainfall from thunderstorms leading to enhanced flooding concerns. This is especially true for areas that have recently seen heavy rainfall. Remain weather aware, and have a way to receive warnings if flooding occurs!

Current activity along the I-70 corridor and Kansas City Metro will persist through the afternoon, with lower confidence in the exact location and timing of activity as it develops through the afternoon. Greater probabilities will build in during the evening/overnight as storms progress further eastward. With evening activity, the potential for flooding increases. Remain up to date with the latest forecast!

Heat/Humidity begins to build in through the weekend, with heat indices likely (40-60%) to reach the triple digits by Sunday. Be sure to limit outdoor exposure, stay hydrated, and do not leave children/pets unattended in vehicles!
