The National Weather Service's (NWS) Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman-OK has the K.C. MetroRegion- as well as Metro Kansas City- in forecasted areas of severe thunderstorms tomorrow (Friday) through Memorial Day (Monday) into early next Wednesday (see images- click on them for full size).
At this time- it appears K.C.'s best chances for storms until at least the first of next week are in late-night- early-morning periods.
In addition- heavy rains in the MetroRegion this morning have already produced Flash Flood warnings for Kansas counties west and northwest of K.C.- as indicated by this radar-indicated precipitation image from the NWS radar in Pleasant Hill-MO. (color code to inches of rainfall on left of image).
Heavy rains over the next 5 days seem to be the greater concern right now- as indicated by this forecast map of precipitation amounts issued by the NWS' Hydro Prediction Center (HPC).
If the HPC's forecast comes to fruition- MetroRegion rain totals of anywhere from 2 to 5-inches are expected through next Tuesday.
As usual- I'll keep you posted here at CSW....
