KANSAS CITY MetroRegion's WEATHER: Increasing Severe Storm Risk Wednesday

The NWS-Storm Prediction Center has a large part of the southwestern MetroRegion- and even part of Metro Kansas City in a "moderate risk" of severe thunderstorms- and possible tornadoes- on Wednesday.
This is an increase from a "slight risk" for our area depicted on earlier forecasts.

Much of our risk for severe weather tomorrow will be highly dependant on how much sunshine we get. The SPC forecast calls for - among the other forms of severe weather- "possibly strong- long-lived tornadoes" with this outbreak- over most of eastern Kansas- the eastern half of Oklahoma and small parts of southwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas.

This "Day-2" forecast will be updated later today- and it will be posted here. ALWAYS have a plan of where to go for shelter when severe storms strike....
