The weekend is here and with that- the increased chance for thunderstorms and a slight chance for some severe storms.
That "slight" risk for severe weather will affect the Central States through Monday- and Metro Kansas City later today/tonight and Saturday.
The risk of tornadoes during the forecast periods are low.
Come Monday- the SPC forecasts for severe storms shifts northeast and east- but northern and eastern portions of the Kansas City MetroRegion are still outlooked for some severe storms.
Of future interest is the HPC forecast risk areas for excessive rainfall.
Saturday's forecast has those areas to our north and northeast in northern- northeastern MO and southern Iowa.
Of perhaps greater concern for the ongoing Missouri River flooding is that areas of central South Dakota- right in the middle of the 6 Pick-Sloan dams and reservoirs- are forecast for possible excessive rainfalls both Saturday and Sunday.
IF this forecast should verify- it is likely that reservoir releases from at least the lower Pick-Sloan dams could again be increased beyond the 160-165000 cfs readings of yesterday (Thursday).
Please refer to the daily reservoir readings that are posted daily here at CSW until the threat of Missouri River flooding lessens.
