Kansas City MetroRegion WEATHER: A Satellite and Radar Look To The West



I
t has been rare in this Summer of 2009- a warm- humid & hazy day.


A look to the west-southwest from a camera high atop the Overland Park Sheraton proves this- and also reveals clouds gathering to the west.

Thunderstorms have erupted over mostly the central part of Kansas from north to south borders and they're moving this way.

The NWS' Storm Prediction Center has no watches in effect (although several of the storms are severe) and don't anticipate issuing any on the current activity- the storms look quite impressive on both visible satellite and Doppler radar images.

It will be around midnight before storms affect the western parts of the MetroRegion- and early Wednesday before the storms reach the Metro- the greatest chances appearing now south of the Kansas and Missouri rivers.

Updates here at CSW as needed....
