Severe Weather & Heavy Rain Threat Eased Locally

The storm system that's been bringing severe weather and flooding from the Northern and Central Plains is disorganizing to re-organize.

Severe weather is still expected today over many of the same areas mentioned above however.

One to two inches of rain are still possible over the next 5 days (through the Memorial Day weekend) in Metro Kansas City - but the threat of any organized severe weather or flash-flood events - at this time - has lessened considerably from 24 hours ago.

Increasing Threat Of Severe Weather Across Kansas Wednesday

The NWS' Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK has the entire Kansas City MetroRegion under a "slight risk" of severe thunderstorms on Wednesday.

Inside that corridor is a "moderate risk" area that stretches from south central Kansas into extreme southeastern Nebraska.

There is also a good risk of heavy - possibly flash-flooding rains with any of the stronger thunderstorms - especially if storms continue moving over the same areas as is possible.

Stay tuned!
