During this time, discrete/isolated severe storms will be developing in central Kansas. These severe storms will potentially converge into a line and will enter eastern Kansas later this evening, after 7 p.m. and into the overnight hours. This is when the severe threat will be the highest.Damaging wind and large hail are the primary concerns. But we can’t rule out a few brief tornadoes within the line of storms and localized flash flooding. A flood watch is in effect this evening through Monday evening for most counties along and north of Interstate 70. Storms linger overnight into early Monday morning and then finally move out by the late morning hours. This lingering rain could potentially lower the risk for severe afternoon or evening storms on Monday in central Missouri. With that said, there still is a chance for storms, but the severe threat just barely clips into our coverage area. Storms will likely develop right over a line of counties from Mercer to Pettis counties, then quickly grow in strength as they move away from our area. Highs will be in the 70s today and tomorrow. Temperatures will be much cooler for the remainder of the week in the 60s, and the forecast looks much drier as we finish off April.
