Severe thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon into the overnight hours. This is a fairly large time frame for this potential, but there is considerable uncertainty in how this severe storm potential will unfold. Storms are likely northwest of the area Monday night – Tuesday morning. There are a couple of scenarios on how this system affects our storm potential. 1) The upstream cluster of storms maintains itself and moves into NW MO/NE KS early in the afternoon. 2) The upstream system weakens as it moves into NW MO/ NE KS and lays out an outflow boundary that provides a focus for storm development in the area later in the afternoon and into the evening. These details likely won’t be resolved until early Tuesday, so be sure to check for updates regarding the storm potential.
