Kansas City Metro-MetroRegion WEATHER: Chance of Severe Storms and Flash Flooding Today



A
lthough the heaviest rains have missed most of Metro K.C.- there's still a chance for more heavy rain through early Thursday morning.


For that reason- the NWS in Pleasant Hill has hoisted a Flash Flood watch for Metro and much of the northern and northeast K.C. Missouri MetroRegion.

In addition- a strong cold front is plunging southeastward from the Northern Plains and will arrive in the Metro Thursday morning.

Thunderstorms are forecast to develop over Kansas and Nebraska ahead of this front- and those storms are expected to become severe as they move toward our area this evening and tonight.

Primary severe weather threats are hail and winds- but a tornado could develop in any discreet supercell thunderstorms.

As per the norm (NORM!)- I'll be posting updates here on CSW....
