The above imagine shades the counties that are currently under a TORNADO WATCH until 9PM CDT tonight for the possibility of severe thunderstorms and a few tornadoes. Some thunderstorms are already firing in northern KS/southern NE and will strengthen and build southward while moving to the west during the coming hours. I'm giving a 40% chance of people seeing thunderstorms here in KC as the storms will be scattered, but because of their isolated nature there is an increased risk of supercells developing, which can produce tornadoes. Regardless, the threat for any severe weather is only modest at best, but isolated tornadoes are likely. Stay tuned to NWS radio and local media for more information. I'll update later when more storms develop.
