K.C. MetroRegion WEATHER: Severe Storm-Flood Risk Later Today



It's beginning to look a lot like springtime- weather-wise.


Once again much of the Kansas City MetroRegion- including Metro K.C.- is in a "slight risk" area for severe thunderstorms.

There is also a more enhanced tornado threat than Saturday night's storms locally- as well as an increased risk for flash and general river flooding with the approaching system.

Worse- these enhanced threats will come after dark this Monday evening and overnight into Tuesday morning.

Refering to the graphic- this "slight risk" area will extend along and south of a Topeka-Leavenworth-KS to Kirksville-MO line as of this latest forecast.

This is a developing-by-the-hour weather situation. Your Captain will ingest the coffee and be on the ball with information here through early Tuesday.
