Friday Forecast & More Viewer Pics!

Good Friday morning to you! We made it through another week... an active weather week, at that! And this morning, more showers are moving through the Metro. Skies look pretty ominous with all the dark clouds around as the sun comes up! Some areas are seeing showers... maybe a few rumbles of thunder... but the entire area has been weakening as it has moved in.

Here is a funny email we received this morning:
"Gary,
Watched your 10:00pm report and you predicted rain around 6:00am today. I keep an eye on the radar most of the time. I told my wife that you were wrong, that it would probably track north of the city. I got up this morning about 5:50am. As I was fixing coffee I heard this noise on the roof,RAIN. I looked at the clock and it was 6:00am. Of course, by 6:02am it had quit. How did you do that? You know I will hear about this for the next month!"
(That was sent in by Terry in KCK!)

We will continue with a chance of showers and thunderstorms through this afternoon... with scattered activity carrying on into the weekend. It is a tough forecast day-to-day... as each passing thunderstorm complex lays new boundries to work with! Over the weekend, it should not be a complete wash-out... but some of us could see some pretty heavy rainfall!

Here is a look at LIVE TRIPLE ACTION DOPPLER. You can see where the rain is falling right NOW.

Many of you have asked to see the Oskaloosa, Kansas tornado video again... and I am happy to report, it is up on our ACTION NEWS VIDEO page!

I also received a few more viewer photos!

These are from Traci Stahl... cool clouds as Wednesday's thunderstorms moved past her home west of Spring Hill. She says they got a lot of wind and a little rain out of those storms! Thanks, Traci, for sending them in!

Next we have a photo from Frank Sereno, employee/producer and unofficial storm chaser for NewsRadio 980 KMBZ. He took this picture just south of Ottawa, KS (Franklin Co.) Wednesday evening.

Frank says he saw semi-organized circulation with this storm.

We also received some lightning photos from Corey Whitworth... who works here at NBC Action News!

And last, thanks to Ladd Epp for capturing our Oskaloosa tornado images off the 6pm news last night. I know a lot of you are wondering about photos without the banner/graphics... but this is as good as I can do right now!
