The Kansas City MetroRegion Overnight News and Weather Report - Sunday, August 19, 2007

** ANOTHER RAYTOWN-MO HOME INVASION LEAVES 3 INJURED **

*** This is the 2nd reported home invasion- with injuries- in as many days - this time in the 9000 block of East 85th Street at 1:06 am.

A 23-year-old female was reportedly shot in the left knee and leg- a 19-year-old female was pistol-whipped and a male was struck by a baseball bat. All three injuries appeared to be not life-threatening.

Again- there wasn't any suspect information heard- but I'm sure Raytown Police should be releasing something later today regarding suspects in 2 home invasions there this weekend.

** Odd Medical Call In Lee's Summit-MO **

... The initial call was for "a female having seizures" in the 3500 block of S.W. Phillip Court. However when paramedics arrived- they found at least "4" people in various stages of consciousness- indications are that these were young people as well.

One paramedic indicated that at least one of the victims may have taken a "date-rape drug." Police were investigating this incident.

** Two KC-MO Police Cars Collide *

... It appears that Kansas City-MO cops need to take defensive driving refresher courses.

Two officers collided at 6:22am Sunday morning at Truman Road & Topping. Both officer's injuries were reported minor.

It seems at least a dozen KC-MO police cars have been crashed over the past month at taxpayer's expense.

<><><> OVERNIGHT WEATHER <><> <>

The remnants of Tropical Storm Erin continues to be a suprisingly well-organized and tight low pressure center- and was northwest of Oklahoma City at dawn moving toward the MetroRegion.

Showers and thunderstorms developed in southeastern Kansas overnight moved north into the MetroRegion and diminished. Cloudy skies overnight kept temperatures in the mid-70's to near 80 in urban areas with light south winds.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked a "slight risk" of severe thunderstorms over southeastern and eastern Kansas- western and southwestern Missouri as well as parts of northeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas through today into Monday morning. This risk area runs to just south of Metro Kansas City- but includes most of the southern parts of the MetroRegion. This includes both a threat for high winds and tornadoes.

Showers and thunderstorms will increase by midday into tonight and locally very heavy rainfall with this tropical system can be expected.
