GREAT PLAINS SPCA AND MERRIAM BRITTANY FOSTER KMBC9 NEWS. ALL RIGHT, FIRST ALERT WEATHER. AND WE’RE IN FOR A COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT DAYS AHEAD HERE. YES. ALERT DAYS. YES. SO WE’VE GOT SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SO IT’S ALWAYS TRICKY AROUND KANSAS CITY I FEEL LIKE. SO WHEN IT COMES TO IT’S RARE THAT IT’S JUST LIKE A STRAIGHTFORWARD, EASY THINGS ARE GOING TO PLAY OUT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. SO THERE ARE SOME FACTORS THAT WE’RE KIND OF WORKING ON SMOOTHING OUT HERE, BUT HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. SO TOMORROW WE’LL LIKELY SEE SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MAIN TIMELINE. WHEN THOSE STORMS COULD TURN SEVERE WILL BE BETWEEN 5:00 IN THE AFTERNOON UNTIL 11:00 IN THE EVENING. SO THAT’S GOING TO BE FOR TUESDAY. THAT’S THE WINDOW OF TIME WHEN WE COULD SEE DAMAGING WIND. THAT WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. THERE’S ALSO THE POSSIBILITY FOR SOME LARGE HAIL, A LOW TORNADO THREAT THERE AS WELL. BUT WE OF COURSE WILL BE HERE MONITORING IT FOR YOU. AND THEN ON WEDNESDAY, THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT HERE FOR WEDNESDAY. THAT SEVERE RISK DEPENDS ON IF CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP THAT COULD ALLOW THOSE STORMS TO TURN SEVERE. SO DEPENDING ON HOW LONG THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LAST TOMORROW, LATE INTO EARLY ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, IF WE CAN GET SOME SUNSHINE TO PEEK OUT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT COULD LIMIT OUR SEVERE WEATHER RISK ON WEDNESDAY. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH, IF EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER JUST RIGHT, STORMS THAT DO FORM COULD TURN SEVERE. SO THAT’S WHY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE PREPARED JUST IN CASE. BUT THOSE ARE SOME FACTORS THAT WE’RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THE FINE DETAILS THERE, BECAUSE IF SOME LIMITING FACTORS ARE ENOUGH, THEY’LL THEY’LL KEEP OUR SEVERE WEATHER AWAY. BUT AGAIN, THERE IS ENOUGH OUT THERE TO WHERE STORMS THAT FORM COULD HAVE DAMAGING WIND. THAT WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT, THEN A LOWER THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR TOMORROW BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 11, BUT ESSENTIALLY KIND OF THE SAME IDEA FOR WEDNESDAY AS WELL. SO LET’S GO THROUGH THAT TIMELINE ON FUTURESCAN SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I MEAN. AND I’M ACTUALLY GOING TO START IT TODAY BECAUSE WE DO ALSO HAVE SOME INGREDIENTS OUT THERE. IF A STORM CAN FORM THIS EVENING, YOU SEE IT THERE. WE’LL HAVE TO WE’LL BE MONITORING IF A STORM COULD FORM, COULD POSSIBLY HAVE SOME GUSTY WIND OR LARGE HAIL. SO THERE’S A VERY LOW CHANCE OF THAT THIS EVENING. BUT SOMETHING THAT WE’RE WATCHING. THEN TONIGHT INTO THE MORNING, TOMORROW, QUIETER CONDITIONS, SOME PATCHY CLOUDS TO START OUR DAY. IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY TONIGHT. WINDY AGAIN TOMORROW. EVEN WARMER INTO THE 80S. MIDDLE 80S FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON HERE 7 P.M. AND THESE WILL BE THE STORMS THAT WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THAT SEVERE RISK OF DAMAGING WIND, POSSIBLY LARGE HAIL, THAT LOWER TORNADO THREAT. THERE’S 10:00 TOMORROW EVENING. ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS POSSIBLE IN FAR NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND NORTHEASTERN KANSAS. WEDNESDAY, A QUIETER START TO THE DAY. BUT NOTICE THERE’S A LOT OF CLOUDS AROUND. SO THESE CLOUDS COULD LIMIT OUR SEVERE POTENTIAL HEADING INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. BUT HERE’S 5 P.M. THERE. THE THUNDERSTORMS NEED TO WATCH FOR. NOTICE THAT FUTURESCAN HAS THEM A LITTLE BIT FARTHER EAST OF THE METRO, SO THIS COULD BE RIGHT OVER THE METRO AREA. REALLY JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS THE DAY AND THE NIGHT BEFORE. SO ALL THAT BEING SAID, JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP CHECKING BACK IN. WE WILL CONTINUE TO FINE TUNE THIS FORECAST AS WE GET NEWER DATA, AND WE’LL REALLY HONE IN ON THOSE HOURS AND LOCATIONS WITH THE GREATEST RISKS. BUT TOMORROW IT’S PRIMARILY HEADING INTO THE EVENING. IT WILL BE ANOTHER WARM DAY, 86 DEGREES. THAT’S WAY ABOVE NORMAL, 70 IN THE MORNING, 80 BY LUNCHTIME. THERE’S THAT WEATHER ALERT THERE AT FOUR AND 6 P.M. AS THUNDERSTORMS COULD START TO FORM. AND IF THEY DO, COULD CERTAINLY TURN SEVERE. WEDNESDAY. SAME DEAL. MORE CLOUDS, A LITTLE COOLER. STILL 78 FOR A HIGH. THIS WAY WARMER THAN WE SHOULD BE WATCHING FOR THAT SEVERE WEATHER RISK WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON HEADING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AND THEN ON THURSDAY. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET OUTSIDE AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT RAIN OR STORMS, THURSDAY IS YOUR DAY. 83 FOR A HIGH. WE HAVE ANOTHER ALERT DAY ON FRIDAY. AS WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF SEEING SOME ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. OUR WEEKEND IS LOOKING DRIER WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 60S. LOW START COMING BACK DOWN UPPER 30S BY SUNDAY MORNING AND THEN NEXT WEEK. WINDY AND WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS IN THE 50S. WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THAT MILDER AIR. THAT WARMER AIR COMES BACK IN FOR NEXT WEEK AND IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE QUIETER, BUT HAVE TO GET THROUGH SOME ALERT DAYS. THIS WEEK WE’LL GO THROUGH
