Alert Day: Damaging winds and large hail are possible in the KMBC viewing area on Tuesday

HEAVY THUNDERSTORM. IF THEY DEVELOP BEFORE THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH. This is something we will be paying close attention to throughout the day. IF STORMS DEVELOP BEFORE THE COLD FRONT MOVES FROM WEST TO EAST AND YOUR COMMUNITY BETWEEN 2 AND 7:00 THIS AFTERNOON, YOU WILL ONLY BE AT RISK FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THIS LONGER TIME PERIOD. When storms develop, they can produce very large hail, damaging wind and tornadoes, and even a few strong tornadoes may occur north of Kansas City. THROUGH NORTHERN MISSOURI. RIGHT NOW WE’RE DRY HERE ON THE FIRST ALERT LIVE RADAR, BUT YOU MAY WANT STORMS OVER NEBRASKA, SOME SEVERE STORMS IN IOWA. You know these storms will play a role in determining our severe weather risk here in Kansas City later this afternoon. It’s a very warm and humid morning. It’s 74 degrees and the wind is coming from the south at 16 mph. It feels much wetter than yesterday and it will be a very warm and humid afternoon for all of us. Check out our 12-hour forecast for today in Kansas City. There is a risk of severe thunderstorms between 3 and 5 this afternoon. So in this two hour window we need you. Be prepared and alert for the potential for severe thunderstorms. NOW YOU WON’T SEE MANY HERE AT FUTURE SCAN. This is a radar prediction. THIS COLD FRONT WILL RUN THROUGH. But we’re looking toward northwest Missouri first between 2 and 3 this afternoon. Then this is where the question mark comes into play. How quickly do storms develop ahead of the cold front moving east? You can see it almost looks like it skips Kansas City and then fills up here along Highway 65 from Trenton, Chillicothe, Marshall, Sedalia and Clinton. These would all be severe thunderstorms that could produce severe weather. But even though it looks like it’s skipped, Kansas City, I don’t want you to let your guard down because the atmosphere will be very supportive of the bad weather this afternoon. If storms develop before this front moves through, it will be well east of Highway 65 by 7:00 tonight, so there is an increased risk of severe weather here. THIS IS ALONG AND NORTH OF 36 HIGHWAY. This is the area with the highest probability of severe weather. BUT YOU CAN SEE IT’S ELEVATED HERE OVER EASTERN KANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSOURI. If storms develop here this afternoon, they could produce wind gusts in excess of 70 mph, very large hail and a few tornadoes, some of which could be strong. AGAIN, NORTHERN MISSOURI IS FAVORED FOR THE POTENTIAL OF MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER. So today is a day when we have to give you multiple ways to receive notifications.

It’s one of those days when we hope storms don’t perform as well as the atmosphere is capable of, because a “meet or exceed expectations” scenario would result in significant severe weather.
