K.C. MetroRegion-Central States WEATHER UPDATE: Severe Storm Chances Continue



I'm watching the satellite- radar and other weather sources at this hour and things are beginning to light up.


Thunderstorms have developed in a scattered- super-cellular-fashion from northern Oklahoma into south-central Kansas. More organized storms stretch from northern Kansas- across Nebraska into southeastern South Dakota.

Tornado watches are now in effect from northern Oklahoma into southern South Dakota. As yet- none of the Kansas City MetroRegion is included- but cities such as Emporia and Manhattan-KS are included (TW-54).

This is an intense storm system with dynamic wind fields- as you might guess getting blown around this afternoon. Development of thunderstorms will be fairly swift- as will their movement be as well.

Current indications are that a line of severe thunderstorms will congeal in Kansas and move into the Metro Kansas City area after dark. Meto K.C. should be under some form of weather watch by that time too.
