The Storm Prediction Center is talking about issuing a severe thunderstorm watch for our area. Very strong thunderstorms have developed this morning on the Kansas side. From now through 10 AM, possibly a few hours longer, storms will travel from the West to the East. Heavy rain, small hail and potentially damaging winds will be the biggest issues. After 12 PM, we’ll enter a dry stretch before the atmosphere recharges by evening. Today’s steamy high will be 87°. By 9 PM, storms will enter NE Kansas and NW Missouri. These storms could also potentially produce flooding rains and damaging winds.
By dawn on Monday, the storms should be out of here. Monday looks quiet and partly cloudy with highs in the lower 90s. Tuesday will be a sizzlin’ day at 94°. Then Tuesday night through Friday, isolated storms will be back. With these storms comes cooler temperatures. We’ll fall into the 80s from Wednesday through next weekend. Saturday and Sunday look dry right now with highs in the upper 80s.
Have a great one!
Take care,

We’ve had a few severe storms this morning with reports of limbs and trees down in Butler and Appleton City. By 5 AM, the storms have continued to weaken. By 9 AM, the storms should be mostly done. It will be a hot and steamy start to the weekend. With a cold front hanging out in our area, we could see some isolated showers and thunderstorms later this afternoon after 4 PM. Today’s high will be 91°.
I think a better chance for storms arrives well after midnight, closer to dawn, on Sunday. Some of these could be strong with gusty winds and hail. Count on clouds and some sunshine for Sunday with a high of 91°. We could see another round of spotty storms after 3 PM Sunday.
Monday will be partly cloudy and very warm at 91°. Storms in spots Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the upper 80s to near 90°. Dry next Friday with rain returning by Saturday. Highs by next weekend look a touch cooler in the upper 80s.
Have a great Saturday!

Rain continues this morning. By noon today, it will be gone! The Storm Prediction Center has pushed the slight risk area for storms South of our viewing area. Clouds will dominate this afternoon with highs around 79°. Winds will be around 10 to 20 MPH this afternoon, which shouldn’t be an issue for family fireworks. Around 10 PM when the fireworks go off, it will be 73° with the grass still soggy. Winds will be less than 10 MPH from the northwest.
Clouds break up by Sunday. It will be very nice at 83°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy on Monday. The high will be 86°. Late Monday and early Tuesday, there could be a few showers. A very weak disturbance moves through. I don’t expect it to produce much rain, if any, at all.
Mostly sunny Tuesday through Friday with highs climbing into the middle 90s by Thursday. Rain returns next weekend.
Have a Happy Fourth of July!

Several rounds of rain expected through Saturday night. Rain is possible this morning through 9 AM. Some of these storms could have heavy rains, lots of lightning plus hail. We’ll have a break around 12 PM. But, after 4 PM, storms will trigger in NE Kansas and NW Missouri. There is a slight risk for severe storms – any storm could have large hail and damaging winds. If a storm can line up with the warm front, then a tornado cannot be ruled out. Today’s high will be 84°.
Rain tonight looks to track along and North of I-70. Early in the evening, the storms will be the strongest. Rain should exit the area well before 9 AM. Once again, expect more storms after 4 PM. This time, the storms will be concentrated South of I-70. Saturday will be cooler at 82°.
Partly cloudy and dry by Sunday. The storms should shift far enough South away from our region. Temperatures will rebound to 85°. Sunshine dominates Monday through next Friday with temperatures climbing into the lower 90s.
Have a great Friday!

Most of the rain this morning will stay West of Kansas City. However, spotty showers could be possible on the Kansas side. Temperatures will warm to 83° this afternoon with a light wind. There’s a slim chance for a pop-up shower or two later today – but nothing heavy.
Tonight, clouds crowd and storms will arrive by dawn. Friday, some of these storms could be on the strong side with heavy downpours, lightning, gusty winds and small hail. There is a slight risk for severe storms along and North of I-70 – this is mainly for the activity expected tomorrow evening. Tomorrow’s high will be 84°.
Storms through Saturday morning with a high of 84°. Then on Sunday, most of us will be dry as the storms shift South. The high will be 85°.
Partly cloudy to mostly sunny Monday through Wednesday. The heat is coming back with highs starting in the middle 80s on Monday. Lower 90s on Wednesday. Showers possible next Thursday.
Have a great one!

A cool start to your Wednesday with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. This afternoon, it will still feel comfortable under a partly cloudy sky at 86°. Tonight, the clouds will crowd and thunderstorms could enter the picture by dawn. The Storm Prediction Center has us in a slight risk for severe weather on Thursday…there’s still some uncertainty as to how strong these storms could get. If they stay strong enough, then they could produce gusty winds and large hail. The rain won’t last all day long…mainly through Thursday morning. Lunch looks dry, but a few isolated showers may pop-up in the afternoon. The high will be 83°
Scattered showers and thunderstorms possible from Friday through Saturday. SPC has most of us in a slight risk on Friday. Highs in the middle 80s. Rain likely Sunday morning with a cooler high at 83°.
Mostly sunny to partly cloudy next Monday through Wednesday. Highs not in the 80s…enjoy the upper 80s!

Isolated showers and thunderstorms have developed this morning well South of Kansas City. South Central Vernon County, Missouri, was under a severe thunderstorm warning for a brief period of time due to hail. It’s all because of a very small ripple that’s moving through this morning. It will be history well before lunch. We’ll clear the clouds out and have a sun-filled afternoon with highs around 86°.
Sunny to partly cloudy on Wednesday. The high will be 86°. Another disturbance arrives Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Spotty rain and thunder is possible. By Thursday afternoon, it will be partly cloudy with temperatures around 87°.
Most of Friday looks dry and warm at 86°. Rain returns late Friday into Saturday morning. Highs through the holiday weekend will be in the middle 80s. Best rain chances for the 4th of July look to be in the morning. Sunday will be partly cloudy before showers return next Monday. Thunderstorms possible on Tuesday with a high at 84°.

Very quiet and pleasant through most of Wednesday. Highs will be in the middle 80s to upper 80s. Late Wednesday and early Thursday morning, expect a few spotty showers and thunderstorms. Right now this doesn’t look to reach severe limits.
Thursday will be a little cooler at 86°. Friday through the holiday weekend, highs will hover in the middle 80s. There will be a few chances for rain. Friday night and Saturday morning show signs of a disturbance passing through that will give us thunderstorms. Fireworks on Saturday look dry right now. However, heavier showers arrive by Sunday morning.
Have a great Monday!

Just as promised…the relief is here! Temperatures this afternoon will only top out around 85°. It will be a less humid day with plenty of sunshine. High pressure will keep the sunshine around on both Monday and Tuesday. No hints of a sudden increase in humidity just yet. Highs will climb to 87° on Monday and 89° on Tuesday.
Wednesday will return to the 90s with a chance for thunderstorms late in the day. Leftover showers possible early Thursday. This rain isn’t a sure bet…right now it doesn’t look that heavy nor widespread. Thursday’s high will be cooler at 87°.
Friday through next Sunday looks unsettled. We may have to face a few rounds of showers. But, for the 4th of July, it doesn’t look like a washout…just dodging drips at times.
Have a great Sunday!

An Excessive Heat Warning is still in effect today until 7 PM. Heat indices will easily climb to over 100° today. Clouds will pop-up and grow into thunderstorms between the hours of 2 PM and midnight. Some of these storms could be on the strong to severe side. There are two primary threats…gusty winds and heavy rainfall. But, as such with every possibility of severe weather, a tornado cannot be ruled out.
Rumbles around early tonight with lows in the middle 60s. Then on Sunday – RELIEF! Due to the passage of today’s cold front, count on less humidity and slightly cooler temperatures for Sunday. The high will be 86°.
Mostly sunny skies forecasted both Monday and Tuesday with highs in the upper 80s. By Wednesday, a return to the 90s with a chance for late-day storms. Some showers could remain Thursday morning. Highs from Thursday through next Sunday will range from the upper 80s to the lower 90s.
Have a great Saturday!
