Lees Summit Police

This week — and every week — let’s give EMS crews a hand. 🚑⚠️ Slow Down or Move Over for all flashing lights and give them room to work on the roadside. Protect the people who protect you.

A complex of thunderstorms is expected to develop in eastern Nebraska and move southeast into the region tonight. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be possible, especially across northwestern Missouri. Storms are expected to weaken with time.

We stand in remembrance of those we’ve lost and in support of the families, friends, and fellow officers who carry their legacy forward each day. Please take a moment today to reflect, remember, and show gratitude for those who gave everything to protect our communities.

Today, on Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their courage, commitment, and selfless service will never be forgotten.

Slight chance for storms today, late afternoon/evening (mainly south of I-70), with chances returning again this weekend. Otherwise, expect temperatures to stay rather warm through the rest of the week, with the potential for 90s in some areas by this weekend. #mowx #kswx

Two kids have already died this year after being left or forgotten in a hot car. ⚠️🌡️ This National Heatstroke Prevention Day, remind yourself that vehicles can heat up quickly — with temperatures rising 20 degrees in as little as 10 minutes — creating a deadly situation for a child left inside. 🔗 Prevention tips for parents and caregivers: nhtsa.gov/press-releases…

We wheely appreciate you! 🚌❤️

Keep you and your fellow drivers SAFE! Slow down, move over and give them the space they need. *Move Over laws vary. Check your state's specific laws.

@SosOssian @ADT Have you called our non-emergency #? 816.969.7390, Option 7. We cannot dispatch officers from social media.

@ADT @LSPDPIO my neighbors at 632 NE Clubhouse Dr have been banging on the walls of my house all day and night. Perhaps your officers could do something to diffuse the situation and help them stop thinking th why are invincible thugs.

@POTUS this dude has been torturing me since the end of Obama’s second term. He has been poisoning and trying to kill me and will never stop. Help.

On average, 24% of kids who die from heatstroke get trapped inside a vehicle — and the majority of these tragedies happen over the weekend. Prevent a tragedy before it happens: ⚫ Always lock your car doors ⚫ Keep keys out of reach

Next chance for strong/severe storms will be Sun/Mon, with concerns for flooding due to heavy rainfall/training of storms over one area. All hazards possible with discrete storms, but linear storms w/ damaging wind primary concern Sun. #kswx #mowx

⌚⚡ Individual supercells are possible ahead of the dryline tomorrow between 4 PM and 7 PM across southeastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas. Thunderstorms are expected to grow upscale into a line or clusters and move eastward into eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri between 7 PM and midnight, arriving around 9 PM to 11 PM in the Kansas City metro. Storms will continue moving eastward across Highway 65 in northern and central Missouri after midnight through 2 AM Friday. ☄️🌪️💨 Thunderstorms that initially develop off the dryline and remain individual or discrete could produce very large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a tornado or two. 💨🌪️ As storms grow upscale into a line or clusters after sunset, damaging wind will become the primary threat, with the potential for a brief tornado. 🖥️ Here’s the latest run of Futurescan showing the potential evolution of thunderstorms from late afternoon into Thursday night. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think it’s doing a good job of handling the location, timing, and evolution.

...and other authorized vehicles with flashing lights! It's a law in all 50 states.

Sunny and warm today, with highs in the low to mid 70s. Warm and breezy conditions are expected to continue through Thursday. The next chance for showers and storms arrives Thursday into Friday. Strong to severe storms may be possible Thursday afternoon into Thursday night.

JACKSON – MoDOT will be conducting a lane closure on NB I-470, just before Strother Rd. in Jackson for concrete repair operations, evening/overnight beginning at 7:00 pm on Thurs., April 16 until 6:00 am on Sat., April 18. All work is weather permitting. modot.org/node/87127

Enjoy today's weather as tomorrow will be a little sketchy at times!

⚡ Y’all, we’re looking at a setup this afternoon and evening that’s very similar to what we saw Monday evening. There’s plenty of thunderstorm fuel, wind shear, and moisture, but once again, a strong cap is in place amid weak lifting across the dryline/cool front hybrid west of Kansas City. It’s unlikely thunderstorms will develop along that part of the front in eastern Kansas, but if storms do break the cap, they’ll be capable of producing all types of severe weather. The more likely scenario is for thunderstorms to break the cap in Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas, then move northeast toward Kansas City late this afternoon and evening. With favorable ingredients for severe weather, the strongest thunderstorms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and a tornado. Remain alert between 5 PM and midnight, when severe weather is possible across most of the area. There is another risk of severe thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening, and again Friday afternoon and evening.
