K.C. Metro-MetroRegion WEATHER: "Slight Risk" Of Severe Storms Today



The latest convective outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has moved the "slight risk" of severe thunderstorms area over the Metro this morning.


As you can see by the initial graphic (click-on to enlarge)- this slight risk area includes all but southwestern portions of the Kansas City MetroRegion- with the primary severe threat here in the immediate Metro area being possible large hail (3/4-inch in diameter or larger).

Any severe wind or tornado threat is east and southeast of the MetroRegion- according to this latest outlook issued within the past hour.

So far- nothing but scattered showers over eastern and northeastern Kansas and western and northwestern Missouri.

I'll be watching the radar and posting updates here throughout the day.
