KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Good morning, everyone,
There is a major severe weather risk in our area today.
There are still a few questions, and as of right now, it appears it is coming together for an outbreak of severe thunderstorms, which may very well include a few tornadoes in our viewing area.
With lingering questions about the setup, we will need to monitor this very closely, and we will be doing just that.
