Central States WEATHER: NWS-SPC: "Moderate Risk" Of Severe Storms KS-OK-AR-MO



Metro Kansas City is NOT included in this moderate risk area to our south. Only the extreme southern areas of the Kansas City MetroRegion- Nevada-MO- Fort Scott-KS- are in a "slight risk" area for severe thunderstorms later today.


But areas around Joplin-Neosho-MO over to Coffeyville-KS- down to Miami-Tulsa-OK and Fort Smith-AR are in a "moderate risk" area for possible severe storms and possibly "significant tornadoes" later today and tonight.

In Kansas City- our biggest threat will be rain. A couple of inches could fall by drive-time Friday morning- and could cause localized flooding of those areas prone to high water.

If any of this changes- that change will be posted right here on CSW.

Meanwhile- here's what the current visible satellite and Doppler weather radar from KC/Pleasant Hill shows:
