lost power once already in Riverside

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Linn County, KS
quarter size hail

told ya,... maybe my predictions several hours ago will count for something and get me a little respect in here.

ok, i'm in lee's summit. I did not hear how much rain would fall?  Kristy

This is a gully washer for sure...Near the Worth Harley Davidson plant in Gladstone, we have already picked up .90 inches of rain and it keeps coming down at a rate of .02 every minute or so.

You were talking tornadoes, Brian.  I will stand by my statements of earlier...  The main threat is heavy rain.  We might have some wind and hail.  The area is under a Flood Advisory.. just saw it on Gary's weathercast.

Kristi  

brian talk weather and quit talking about yourself

I keep missing the newscasts and would like to know how much rain OP should end up with by the end of this. I am looking forward to the hot and humid day tomorrow(crazy huh).I love the stormy and hot and humid weather of the spring, but I hate it when it's cold or it's hot and dry. I hope some new data comes out and next week turns out warmer than currently forecasted. The cold weather should be gone forever(low 60's=cold)

It is absolutely pouring here in south Raytown.

simplykristi, are you still using this site!  I was just showing the girlfriend that these thunderstorm warnings show up on it before they are broadcast across the NWS radio.

Pouring here in Raytown. Just lost Dish...........

I don't have a meteorology  degree, nor do I understand all the technical terms Gary and the weather team use. I do have 47 years of Kansas weather under my belt though and this is a thunderstorm, no tornado's ,sky isn't the right color and the air just doesn't have that " feel" about it.
Rained quite hard north of Leavenworth and then the temp dropped about 10 degrees, still raining lightly and 64 degrees

Can someone tell me what Gary said for the weather tonight? Especially south if of the city. Been without power here in La Cygne since 5 pm. The weather radio is going nuts! Guess large hail is heading my way. :(

We've got really heavy rain with some hail mixed in here by the triangle. Saw the first shelf cloud of the year moments ago.

Should be fine farmgirl.   No severe storms heading your way as of this time.   Looks like a lot of rain!!!!    Good luck getting the power back up

LaCygne was actually named in the Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Linn County.  

Just lots and lots of rain over the next couple of hours.  Maybe some hail which you probably know by now

Flash Flood Warning Platte, Clay & Clinton County

farmgirl your Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been allowed to expire.

1.1" at 151st and Pflumm.  Just had the brightest bolt of lightning I've ever seen.

Farmgirl..I am in Pleasanton and my weather radio has been going nuts too...but mainly for Bourbon Co. Even though our warning has expired I believe we will be put into another one if that HUGE cell in Bourbon Co makes it to us. That cell was also in Crawford Co and produced golfball size hail. My brother in law lives down their. So make sure your animals are put up or they might get a concussion...seriously!!! Obviously the further north that cell goes it might weaken. But I am watching it. The more I sit here the closer it gets and the darker it gets.

Monica,

Thanks, and keep us updated.  I will try to add to the blog in a few minutes.

Gary

Just checked my rain gauge.  2.25 inches of rain in the last hour or so at 108th St North and Summit!  Still coming down.

In response to the question "Don't you people have jobs?"...  
Brian, I am not sure who or what you are so rudely referring to. But I am a Respiratory Therapist at a local hospital and work full time, which amounts to 3  12 hour shifts a week. That leaves me with 4 days off a week. Not everyone has a M_F 9-5 job.
As for getting respect here, do people honestly think you can come on here and demand that by being rude and self-righteous? I am have seen that from the same people over and over here and it really annoys me..but then that is why some do these things.
Thank goodness the majority here are fun and enjoy discussing the weather ( or KU, dogs or whatever else pops up, so what?) without slamming the Weather Team or the other decent, kind , interesting people on this blog.

Gary and Weather Team,

What is your take on the SPC putting a Moderate Risk for Severe Weather tomorrow very close to the metro area?

Ryan,

It is something we are analyzing tonight.  I will try to blog about it around 9 PM or so.

does anyone think KC will be in a mod risk tomorrow?

I am having some more hail. The first cell that went through it was sporadic dime size hail...this cell bring sporadic penny size hail. It has already stopped. Not hardly any wind with any of the rain events this evening. My red bud's still have their pretty flowers..woo hoo!!!

Doug,
Thanks for that link!  I forgot all about it. :)  I am so used to going over to NWS site.

All,
I think that it is high time that people respect one another's ability here.  I can understand a lot of terms like shear and velocity and cap.  I admit that I don't study the models...  They change from run to run anyway. :)  It would be nice to have a glossary of meteorology terms.  I am like boontz...  I have lived here all of my life.  I am almost 44.  I have been a weather fanatic since I was 11...  Got my first weather radio then.  I take my weather very seriously.  I prefer to watch the sky not study thge science...  In fact, I am usually outside taking pics until the first drops fall.

I am sorry that today was not a tornado day here.  But it was not that kind of set up.  There may have been some weak rotations in cells but it was short-lived.

Looks like to me the aerial coverage of the storms is shrinking.

Kristi

Kristi is right. Everybody has their strong suit, I love the geography of storms, and tracking them. I dont necessarily like the scientific and physics of meteorology. But that is why this blog is so interesting, everybody is so different. We all should respect each others views on weather, and learn from each other. Tomorrow looks to be another exciting day on the blog, hope you all can join.

7:30 and a little over an inch at 653 and State. Still coming down too. Begining to feel like a duck.

My apartment complex keeps trying to repave their parking lot, and it keeps raining and washing all the newly laid blacktop away. Someone should tell them to give up until after this weekend! =)

Gary, here are the current stats for McLouth, KS as 7:55PM  We haven't had the weather here like you all have had.

Rain 0.50
Temp 59.2
Dewpoint  54.3
Humidity 82%
Barometer 29.97 F
Wind 1.8 mph SW
Sky overcast with some breaks

At right at 8:00 I have 1.70 inches and have emailed pictures of the North Oak river running through my backyard.  Unfortunately it is leaving me with lots of water to deal with in my basement.... :(

Lots of lightening and pouring rain in La Cygne. All this rain makes for good hay, but I could do without the severe aspects of it. I hope the severe weather fizzles for tomorrow.

Mamaof3 Did you just get some big gusts of wind?? I did and all my peach and pear tree petals are gone. And the daffodils are laying over:(

In northern Gladstone, near 72nd and Troost (2 blocks south of Oak Park HS), we have 2.6 in. as of 8:10 PM.

Mike in Gladstone

gary, where can I get a fod motion radar, the one on NOAA dosent move and live esp changes to much with its views. Byan.

1 inch of rain here two miles west of Smithville.  Another good soaking...

Just checked my rain gauge.....2.7 inches of rain at 108th St. N & Summit.  Still sprinkling a bit.

Farmgirl...yes I did....right after I wrote the blog entry saying I "have not had much wind"...LOLOLOL, go figure. Last year my red bud blooms only lasted 2 days before they were blown away. As of right now they are still on. My yard is a swamp again. Ughhh!!!

Mamaof3girls and FarmGirl,
Earlier (last blog) as I was talking about Paola and only having sprinkles, as soon as I hit enter to send the message, down came the rain, lots of rain here in Paola.  We've been spared the worst of the weather, only heavy rain...only..ha like we needed more rain!  Grounds are so saturated near bull creek, I'm sure it will flood the park soon.  I hope the high winds are over for you all, no high winds here.....yet......
