The NWS/Pleasant Hill has let Severe Thunderstorm Watch No. 211 expire as planned at 2am- as well as all Metro warnings.

Independence EOC reported hail as large as 1-inch in diameter around 1:45am..

A severe thunderstorm has weakened slightly as it moves along the Missouri Rivewr east of KC-MO.. However as you can see by the weather radar image- strong storms continue upstream to near the Topeka area.

Some of these storms will have hail with them- and lots of heavy rail with cloud to ground lightning and possible wind gusts to around 40 m.p.h..

They'll be moving west to east acrosss the Metro from the Kansas & Missouri River areas southward over the next several hours.

Be alert for flash flooding!
