Thunderstorms

A cold front to our West has thunderstorms moving across central Kansas this evening. Will these thunderstorms make it to KC? It doesn't look like this batch will... they are moving to the Southeast.

We have been waiting for thunderstorms to develop over Nebraska... but so far NOTHING!! They tried to get going earlier this evening, but fizzled out. What is going on?? The atmosphere has a pretty good CAP. You can read more about atmospheric capping in our previous blog discussion about CAPS.

Thunderstorms that have been ongoing in Iowa are now starting to back-build to the southwest. These are clipping our northeast counties this evening. We will have to watch this area! Check out LIVE TRIPLE ACTION DOPPLER to see the latest radar images.

So will we see thunderstorms? While it doesn't look to impressive at the moment... we can't rule it out until the cold front comes through. Any of these storms could produce gusty winds or hail... but as the sun sets... our severe weather threat is diminshing!!

Sunday looks like another nice day, although a bit cooler. We should see some afternoon sunshine and highs in the upper 70s!

Hope you're enjoying the weekend!
