KANSAS CITY'S WEATHER: "Slight Chance" of Severe Thunderstorms July 4


Don't shoot the messenger- I too have plans for a cook-out and watching a cool fireworks show Wednesday evening at Lake Tapawingo (all are welcome too).

The graphic below (click to enlarge) tells the story though. A cool front will be in our area late tomorrow and this will trigger showers and thunderstorms in our warm and VERY humid atmosphere.

The NWS' Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has moved the "slight risk" area further westward since yesterday's forecast and I concur with possibly a scattered line of strong storms developing Wed. evening and moving through.

So far- no indications of flooding rains- but the stronger thunderstorms will produce torrential rains while they are overhead with caution to those living in the southern half of the KC Metro where soils are saturated.
