Kansas City MetroRegion Weather: NWS-SPC "Slight Risk" Of Severe Weather Through Sunday Morning



Referring
to the graphics (click for full size) - about the northwestern half of the Kansas City MetroRegion - including the immediate Metro- is inside of a "slight risk" of severe thunderstorms later today through just after sunrise Sunday.

The severe storm threat will continue for the Metro- as well as the north west and north MetroRegion Sunday- then over the entire Kansas City MetroRegion on Memorial Day Monday.

Heavy rainfall is- or will be a concern with this repeat pattern of heavy rain-producing thunderstorms.


Most of Metro Kansas City got between one-half and one and one-half inches of rain this morning.

The next graphic is rainfall so far this May at stations in the Johnson County- KS "Stormwatch" network. Gauges are located in JoCo or Overland Park (OP) KS unless otherwise indicated.
