Just because it's early autumn doesn't mean the threat for severe thunderstorms has ended.
In fact- there's a 2nd - albeit lesser- severe weather season in the fall that can run as late as Christmas.
Well- we don't have to wait until Christmas (it's supposed to SNOW then anyway- not tornado) for our next possible round.
The NWS' Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has had the Kansas City MetroRegion bulls-eyed all week for a possible severe storm "outbreak" on Thursday.
You can see by the graphics here that the severe risk actually begins later Wednesday to our northwest and by Thursday- Metro K.C. is practically bulls-eyed for that "slight risk."
Heat is a necessary ingredient for severe thunderstorms- and that MAY be a problem locally.
Storms and cloudiness that form upstream later tomorrow may inhibit heating around here Thursday- which SHOULD lessen the intensity of any severe weather.
Nonetheless- the chance remains for the chance of severe thunderstorms with all modes of severe weather- including a few tornadoes- Thursday.
Any and all facets of telling YOU what will happen will occur here at CSW throughout this entire (forecasted) event.
