Be Weather Aware - Stay Severe Savvy
It's Monday afternoon, the first day of the work week after a nice holiday weekend with amazing weather. Monday looks like it could shape up to be a bit of a drag for many around the KC Metro.
Folks, I know the e-mails
and blog posts for upcoming Severe Weather have been sparse, and for that, I
apologize. It's been a wacky Spring and now a weird Summer...That being said, I wanted to let you know that most of the Metro counties are under a Flash Flood Watch starting around 7 PM tonight.Please be sure to check your sump pumps, once again, as we could see a similar storm to those that thundered through the area on 06/26/15.
Along
with the potential for Heavy Rains, we have a chance for Damaging
Winds. Estimates are upwards of around 70mph gusts. That is right on par
with the storms, again, from 06/26/15.
Speaking of, here's a video that I shot while out Storm Spotting that night. Be sure to watch closely a few minutes after the rain starts, as that's when it REALLY picks up! You can even see debris fly by a few times.

Since the e-mail I sent out around Noon today, the Large Hail threat has
been increased for our area. That means, we could see hail >1"
possible. You definitely don't want to be out in 70MPH winds anyway, but
here's an extra reason to take precautions.
As for the Tornado threat, there's always a very minor possibility of a Tornado with Severe Thunderstorms (like 07/01/15 recently), but at this time, there is not a forecast showing any threats this evening.

Be sure to batten down the proverbial hatches. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of 06/26/15.
Stay safe out there,
