Good Saturday bloggers,

We have an increasing chance for a period of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. There is a level 1 of 5 threat of severe weather as well.

As of 8 a.m. the thunderstorms were along I-80. At present course and speed they would arrive in KC 4-6 p.m. They may accelerate. We will be watching closely.

Saying "we need the rain" is an understatement. Levels 3 and 4 of 5 drought are now back into the south part of KC and much of eastern Kansas and most of Missouri. The locations that are still hanging on to no drought are a few small patches between the north side of KC to the southeast corner of Nebraska and northwest corner of Missouri.

There may be some help on the way.
