We will see calmer, but cool weather tonight. April is going to start with active weather as our next significant storm system to track arrives Tuesday. Details on the active weather are in our updated KSHB 41 News weather blog at: kshb.com/weather/kshb-4…

Our next round of severe weather ramps up tomorrow night, after 9pm. A slight risk (level 2/5) is in place for the entire area as all hazards are possible. Large hail & strong winds are most likely, but the tornado threat is not zero, especially if storms form ahead of a front!

Prepare for a noisy & active night tonight! Severe storms are likely between 9pm - 4am with all severe hazards possible. The greatest tornado & large hail threat is highlighted in the orange area, southwest of KC. Make sure emergency alerts are on before going to bed tonight!

What you need to know for tonight! ⚡️An in-depth look ⬇️

UPDATE: An Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) now includes the KC metro, areas up to 36-HWY & western Missouri for the increased potential of 75+ mph winds along the squall line that comes through after 12am. The tornado & hail risk still present but more likely over central/eastern KS.

A Tornado Watch now in effect for most of our area as a line of storms approaches KC around 5-8am. Storms could also produce strong, damaging wind gusts & hail into the morning commute.

UPDATE | The Kansas City area is included in a tornado watch until 10 a.m. Latest update from Lindsey Anderson: kshb.com/news/local-new…

The squall line is getting close! We now have Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that extend from Douglas, Jefferson, Leavenworth & Platte counties as this line could produce 60 mph wind gusts & quarter size hail. The warnings are in place until 3:45am.

3:45am: A Severe Thunderstorm Warning includes much of the KC Metro as the line of storms is quickly approaching. Prepare for strong wind gusts along the leading edge. This warning is in place until 4:15am.

3:50am RADAR: Getting ready for a very noisy next few hours over KC! Here's when you can expect the line of severe storms to enter your area.

WOAH look at this squall line! AMAZING! It's over 500 miles long with warnings along the entire line from northern Missouri to the TX/OK border.

This is the outflow boundary! It's cooling down the air ahead of the storms and allowing them to weaken.

Heads up drivers! We're already seeing issues on the roads. Daniela Leon is tracking 2 crashes now.

5:30AM RADAR: A line of severe storms is making its way across the city this morning. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued from Jackson County, MO to Linn County, KS until 6:15am. Strong winds up to 60 mph most likely. The extremely heavy rain will impact roads too!

A very dangerous situation sets up out east today as the same line of storms we’re experiencing this morning moves into the Mississippi River Valley by the early evening.

This was at 7am - although still monitoring the tornado threat close to our southeastern counties through the 9am hour.
