I always trust Gary!!! Keep an eye on the sky today. Have a plan in place.
Good Afternoon! Let's be weather aware this afternoon. Kansas City is in the risk for severe weather with large hail and damaging winds the main risk. Conditions are favorable for the thunderstorms to become strong enough to produce a tornado threat. The Storm Prediction Center has placed KC, the yellow shade, in a 10% risk of a tornado within 25 miles of where you live. I like to look at it as if there is a 90% chance there isn't a tornado within 25 miles of where you live to show you that this chance is still quite low. At the same time, today may be our highest probability of having a tornado in 2025. There is a storm system approaching and one good thing that may come out of this is the fact we need some rain right now. The farmers could use a good drink of water on their planted crops. 1" to 2" of rain seems likely by morning with a few spots getting 3" or more, while others may end up with just 1/2".
