Another nice #sunset tonight. And a bonus waxing gibbous pic.

Platte River at St. Joe, MO flirting with that major flood threshold.

Not a bad #sunset tonight considering how cloudy it is.

Severe and tornadic thunderstorms erupt in the Central Plains. Parts of Kansas and Nebraska are under a PDS tornado watch today.

@adventfear @fox4kc Correct!

@AlexCounteeWX @fox4kc Okay, thank you! I imagine it will be more of a squall line once it gets to that location?

This PM/evening will be loud as the next wave of severe storms forms to our west around 1-3 PM. Large hail & high wind gusts are the top 2 threats with spin-ups possible within as it moves ESE. Into the NW side of the area around and after 6 PM, Metro around & after 8 PM. @fox4kc

@adventfear @fox4kc It'll be a lower tornado risk for both of those counties. Not totally zero however.

@AlexCounteeWX @fox4kc Any idea regarding tornadoes in Henry or Pettis co. MO tonight?

@twinswval @fox4kc It's unlikely. The main event is this evening

@AlexCounteeWX @fox4kc Will there still be another overnight round after midnight?

@mburriesci4988 @fox4kc Widespread 1-3"+ for most of us.

@AlexCounteeWX @fox4kc Any estimate on rainfall amounts in the metro?

@fox4wx @AlexCounteeWX @JacobLanierWx Various friends shared their pictures of this lenticular(?) cloud south of Hays on the 16th.

Incredible tornado just a bit ago near St. Libory, NE. Wow! That was awesome

Next severe storm chance is tonight (Sunday night)! Another line of storms should form out west then move into the NW side of the viewing area. Severe wind, hail, and flash flooding are top concerns from KC to the NW. I'd expect a wet/loud start to Monday in the Metro. @fox4kc

Last night, NW MO really went through it. Big hail of golf ball-baseball size was found around Trenton, MO, along with heavy rain and a couple of tornado warnings (maybe touchdowns?). Then, the flooding happened. This is a look at radar-estimated totals! @fox4kc

@fox4wx @AlexCounteeWX @JacobLanierWx Jupiter and Starlink in the western sky tonight.

Sunset poking out from in between distant thunderstorm anvils. Storm season is certainly in full swing! #kcwx #mowx

Quarter size hail just Southeast of Bethany, MO

The southward trend of late PM/night storms continues, anchored closer to 36 Hwy & areas N/E. SVR hail & wind are still top threats, but flooding is becoming more of a problem. There is potential for 3"+ of rain & flash flooding tonight into early tomorrow morning. @fox4kc

Heads up for folks along/north of 36 Hwy tonight! More storms should develop there around and after 5 PM today & could become severe. 60 mph gusts & quarter-size hail are possible in the most intense storms through 11 PM tonight. This shouldn't be an issue for the Metro. @fox4kc

9:10 AM -- One storm did manage to get close to severe criteria this morning over Livingston Co., MO. Gusts near 60 mph & small hail possible as this moves east into S Linn Co. @fox4kc #MOwx

Happy Saturday! Showers/storms are out there to the east and we can see the tops of those clouds from KC! Rain chances today are limited to the morning SE of town & tonight up north. A lot of this weekend will be dry, warm & breezy. @fox4kc #MOwx #KSwx #KCwx
