"Slight Risk" of Severe Storms Again Today - Some K.C. Area Rainfall Totals So Far June 2009



A
fter last night's "surprise" thunderstorms that produced damage in Liberty-MO and Johnson and Wyandotte counties-KS (covered FIRST here at CSW during 6 pm TV newscasts)- there's yet a risk later today that some storms could become severe.


This risk is generally the northern half of the Kansas City MetroRegion- from the Kansas and Missouri rivers northward- as shown by this image courtesy of the NWS' Storm Prediction Center (SPC).


It has rained a lot in some areas of Metro K.C. so far this June.

Referring to the Johnson County "Stormwatch" rainfall totals image (click on image for full size)- you can see some areas in JoCo-KS have received just over 9-inches of rain.

With more rain in the forecast during the last 6 days of June- it's likely some areas will (or maybe already have) go over the 10-inch mark of total rainfall for June 2009.
