A small area of severe thunderstorms is possible later this Monday afternoon from the Kansas City and Topeka Metro areas northward into the Lincoln & Omaha-NE and Des Moines-IA Metro areas.
As indicated by the accompaying graphics (click on for full size)- if and when storms develop this afternoon- they're likely to be "low-topped supercells" (under 35000-feet) and there is a chance of tornadoes as well.
The primary severe threat will be severe-criteria wind gusts (greater than 58 MPH) and perhaps some large hail (3/4-inch or larger).
There is also a "Wind Advisory" in effect for the entire K.C. MetroRegion today. Sustained winds of 30 MPH with possible occasional gusts to 50 MPH are possible through the day.
Truckers and high-profile vehicles on east-west roads should use extreme caution!
I have a road trip today- hope to return by mid-afternoon to update the blog on the weather situation- but you always have Lezak if I don't....
