KANSAS CITY MetroRegion WEATHER: NWS-SPC: Severe Storms Possible Tonight


The latest convective outlook from the NWS' Storm Prediction Center has a large portion of the Kansas City MetroRegion- including Metro K.C.- in a "slight risk" area of possible severe thunderstorms later today and overnight.


This is not nearly as intense of a weather system that struck our area last Thursday night/Friday morning.


However- large hail- damaging winds- and the chance of an isolated tornado does exist inside the risk area. The SPC notes in this latest outlook of the chance for "enchanced" severe winds across "southeast Nebraska and eastern Kansas overnight.


Additionally- heavy- possible flooding rainfalls are quite possible this week in the MetroRegion. You can see by the NWS' Hydro Predication Center's graphic- a bulls-eye of possible 5-inch rains are forecasted just south of the K.C. Metro through Saturday.


Flash flooding is possible with any intense- or repeat thunderstorms over the same areas.


Please- do NOT mess around with flash flooding- it's a quick and nearly certain killer!
