Updated: 6:34 PM CDT Apr 27, 2025
DAY FORECAST SO YOU’LL KNOW FIRST. THIS IS FIRST ALERT WEATHER. A FEW LEFTOVER LIGHT SHOWERS, ESPECIALLY ON THE MISSOURI SIDE FOR THIS SUNDAY. AFTER WE HAD SOME MORE WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAINFALL EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS IS FIRST ALERT LIVE DOPPLER RADAR. A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN THERE IN WESTERN LAFAYETTE COUNTY, MISSOURI, STRETCHING ACROSS THE COUNTY LINE INTO JOHNSON COUNTY, MISSOURI, NEAR WARRENSBURG. IT IS RAIN FREE ON THE KANSAS SIDE. NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT TOMORROW. QUITE A BIT OF AN AREA ACROSS CENTRAL PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST WITH SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. WE ARE PART OF THAT. AND OF COURSE, THE DARKER THE COLORS, THE THE GREATER RISK OF GETTING THE SEVERE WEATHER. SO WE LOOK AT MOSTLY KANSAS CITY AND NORTHWARD. NOW, THOSE OF YOU TO THE SOUTH, STILL A CHANCE OF DAMAGING STORMS TOMORROW. AND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. BUT YOU GO FROM I-70 NORTHWARD. IT’S A PRETTY GOOD RISK WHEN YOU HAVE THESE ISOLATED, I MEAN, ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. YOU DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO POP UP, BUT IF THEY DO, THEY CAN STRENGTHEN QUICKLY AND PRODUCE NOT ONLY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND, BUT ALSO TORNADIC ACTIVITY. ALL RIGHT. SO YOUR TIMELINE AGAIN WILL BE IN THE MID AFTERNOON AROUND 3:00, I’D SAY ALL THE WAY TO ABOUT 9:00 THAT NIGHT. AND THEN IT SLOWLY JUST DROPS OFF A LITTLE BIT AFTER MIDNIGHT TOMORROW NIGHT. BUT THEN WE HAVE A COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH THAT WILL PRODUCE MORE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR YOUR EARLY MORNING HOURS COME TUESDAY. SO A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. BUT RIGHT NOW, ON THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS, A LOT OF CLOUDINESS, BUT MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ON THE PLAZA 64 DEGREES. RELATIVE HUMIDITY 84%. WIND SPEEDS ABOUT 15, GUSTING AT TIMES AT 21. THAT WARMER FLOW HAS WARMED US UP. WE’RE UP TO 65 IN OVERLAND PARK IN OLATHE, PLATTE CITY AT 64 WITH EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, LIBERTY AT 62, MARYVILLE, YOU’RE UP TO 62 DEGREES OTTAWA AT 66, IN BUTLER, NOW HITTING 70 DEGREES. THIS IS FUTURE SCAN FOR TOMORROW, 11:00. OKAY. WATCH AS YOU GET A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT RAIN. THAT’S NOT SEVERE STATUS, BUT ONCE YOU GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, LOOK AT THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. SEE THERE? AGAIN, YOU CAN’T PREDICT EXACTLY WHERE THEY’RE GOING TO POP UP, BUT WHEN THEY DO, THEY CAN GET STRONG VERY QUICKLY AND PRODUCE SOME OF THOSE ELEMENTS. WE TALKED ABOUT. IT COULD BE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND ALSO TORNADIC ACTIVITY. SO FOR EXAMPLE LIKE THAT ONE AS IT MOVES IN THE EAST NORTHEAST DIRECTION. THIS IS WHY BETWEEN 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON ALL THE WAY THROUGH LATE TOMORROW NIGHT, WE’VE GOT TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THESE STORMS AS THEY DEVELOP IN OUR AREA. IN THE MEANTIME, TOMORROW MORNING, 63 YOUR HIGH. TOMORROW, 82 DEGREES. WITH THAT INSTABILITY, THAT WARMER AIR AND OF COURSE, THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER THERE. YOUR ALERT HOURS, ESPECIALLY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE RATHER GUSTY. WIND SPEEDS UP TO 20 TO 25, GUSTING AT TIMES NEAR 40 MILES AN HOUR. ON TUESDAY. SPOTTY SHOWERS WITH A HIGH OF 66. AND LOOK AT FUTURE SCAN ON THIS. NOW. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE SEVERE STATUS WHEN YOU LOOK AT FUTURE SCAN FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON, IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD. BUT NOTICE YOU DON’T HAVE THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT’S GOING TO BE LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL. AND THEN IT CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH. EVEN WEDNESDAY, EARLY MORNING, THURSDAY A CHANCE OF A SHOWER, THE DRY DAYS AS OF RIGHT NOW FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 71 AND 75. AND ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN COMING IN NEXT SUNDAY INTO FOLLOWING
