It's entirely possible a shower/storm or two could develop in advance of the Lawrence cell.

Scattered Showers and Storms Today- "Enhanced" Risk of Severe Storms Tuesday

Sunday afternoon Metro Kansas City saw scattered showers and thunderstorms develop and move over parts of our area- and the same thing is occurring this Monday afternoon.

The latest NWS Topeka Doppler radar image shown depicts this activity increasing over east central Kansas with individual cells moving slowly northeast.

This trend will continue through the afternoon with pop-up showers and storms developing just about anywhere in and around the Metro.

On Tuesday- storms will be more organized and possibly severe in and around Metro KC- with an "enhanced" risk of severe storms locally as well.
