.75" in Kearney

Ominous here in drexel, getting kinda green, louisburg ks had a report of marble sized hail

Kristi. What a Red circle with 3 dots mean

OK, Leawood 132nd Roe, it has just cut loose with torrential rain.  It was weird, amount 15 minutes ago the wind came in and kicked up, sprinkled then real still.  Now in last 5 minutes heavy wind and rain.  Trees are really swaying, thunder and lightning.

I also noticed that it appears that more rain is starting to build back out in Western Kansas

As a side note, Parkersburg and New Hartford Iowa that got hit with the F5 tornado are now battling flooding.  New Hartford has had to evacuate the entire town and part of Parkersburg is flooded as well.  The Beaver River that runs through the two towns isn't suppose to crest until Tuesday, those people have really been hammerred.  My mother had to leave New Hartford and stay with my sister in Cedar Falls.

Sigh. I get my grass all cut and this happens. Two large tree branches down in my back yard here in OP. Amazing that they landed on the phone lines and we still have power and phone. Very strong winds and lightning here. Stormed moved by fast too.

storms moved thru leavenworth pretty quickly it is not stalling the threat of flooding here has diminished.

Here in drexel, i am seeing some of the wost looking clouds this year

So, are you expecting more rain to develop for the metro later tonight or is this it?

Heavy rains, very gusty winds at this time. Good day.

We had some pea size hail in gardner. I am going to check the rain gauge as soon as I get my niece to bed. I need to thank my brother for letting me baby sit durring a t-storm.

It's a rocking and a rolling here in Raytown.  Strong winds and everything else.  Least no hurricane force winds :)  

Jeremy, You're welcome I love being a part of this blog as I mentioned before. Sometimes It feels like I am part of a Storm prediction center which is where I always dreamed of working. I'm sorry I got carried away before. I will try and hold my hounds back from now on. Thanks a lot for letting me be a part of this.

Anyone notice the backfill in precip E. of Emporia?  Looks like that redevelopment may skirt the S. area of KC Metro for another round after this one passes.

Thought I would see more training and think (correct me if I am wrong) maybe the low developing in W OK/KS is late in the process and may not make the boundary stationary until after it passes east of most of the metro.

Any thoughts on the flooding event and the possible move of boundary east of expected?

Really pouring, lightening and thunder here now in Belton...pitch black outside.  

TF,
I believe that is wind.  

My youngest brother lost power..  He's at 67th and Raytown Rd.

It's raining heavily here.

Kristi

Like a mini hurricane here in Louisburg:)

The winds have picked up here and are screaming thru the tree tops.  Really an erry sound.  Pouring cats and dogs too.

mmancubfan, I am seeing that as well.  Then all the way back at Kansas and Colorado some strong cells.

1.3 inches in Gardner so far. My lawn is pretty flooded.

Hey Kristi, I am at 54th and Hardy in Raytown. Still have power on here!!!

Yep, Adogg Clouds are looking rather ominous huh? Just want to know if the high winds are associated with this cell that is moving. I hope after this band, the rain shuts down. Sounds like maybe a small chance of that in Jeremy's last blog. My new weather radio has been working! Woohoo. Didn't work in Thursday night.

.65 rain in south Leawood in about 45 minutes

Quite a lightning show to the nortwest of drexel

Strong winds and very heavy rain in Lee's Summit.

I am in south Raytown.  Power is on here too.

Kristi

Water is ponding in our next door neighbor's yard.

Kristi

Raining cats and dogs in South Lee's Summit. Very bright and loud too.

Glad we didn't loose power.  Hope your brother's is restored soon!!!

Check out Steve Millers chase cam in OK...

So far about 3/4 of an inch in the rain gauge from Parkville, MO.

aquila showing almost 4,000 out. go to http://www.aquila.com/eoc/stateAreaOutage.do?stateCode=MO

Well! Looks like I am late!!

Was just looking out are back door and wondered if all the rain would change the flood stage forcast of the river... We are only 4' from official flood level now...

Anyway, not a very exciting event tonight.

a very nice thunderstorm here in south KC MO

At this time we have just over 1" of rain, its getting lighter, less winds. Lake Davidson is starting to fill. (backyard fills up). Night Waterskiing at 10PM.

It looks like the line is starting to bow out in cass county. Jeremy or kristi do you see that at all

I was having dinner around College Blvd. & Quivera...storm came in and it was looking pretty nasty....drove home through heavy down pour on College Blvd. and watched an awesome "light show".

1.41" of rain (so far) two miles south of Reno. .98 of that total came in 30 minutes with dime-size hail and strong wing gusts (50+ mph)

I can see a slight bow, twister... Pretty much what this line has been doing all night.

1.3 in Parkville. More on the way?

So far 3/4 of an inch in Liberty...in the last hour.  Lots of wind & heavy rain.

Tyler,
I personally do not see a bow forming in Cass County.  Jeremy, your take?

Kristi

*****************

There have been little mini bow segments that have caused strong winds...so we have to watch that.

Jeremy

Good evening, Jeremy!  Checking in from 151st and Pflumm...rain seems to have stopped and I've got .7" in the gauge.  Some cool clouds and awesome lightning but nothing other than that.  

Very heavy wind, rain and intense ligthenting here in Lee's Summit. My neighbor's  weather system is showing 1.03 inches of rain and 34 mph wind gusts.

Its a weeee little one, not much really to mention...

And mostly gone now..

Jeremy,
So far 1.05 here at 68th and leavenworth rd in Kck.

-Rodney

Think we are about done here.  I see no part of that storm that merited a severe t-storm warning here for Cass...maybe I am in the wrong part of the county, but there wasn't anything severe about that.  

Shoedog - thinking good thoughts for your mom and family members up in Iowa.  They are really receiving insult to injury this week and it's so sad.  I know there have been many areas seeing repeat storms this spring and it seems more than usual.  But to have floods after losing your entire town...unreal.  

Long time reader, first time posting....we have had 1.68 inches of rain in LS.  At the height of the storm, the rainfall rate was 2.57 inches per hour.

********************

Thanks for the report!  Welcome to the blog!

Jeremy

Ya, I agree aurora... This one can be called over..

.47 inche at 159th and Ridgeview in Olathe, at 8:45 P.M.  I saw that light show as I drove home from soccer about a half hour ago, that was impressive.

0.50 inches in western KCK - 123rd & Hollingsworth

*****************

Thanks Mark!

Jeremy

Over 2 iches of rain in Desoto. We also had winds that gusted to 73 miles an hour!

Northland Girl:

Thanks,  the stories of all the good deeds up there are incredible.  Some of the FEMA people working in Parkersburg and New Hartford said they had never seen the support of neighboring towns businesses etc...  Reinforces what has always been so good about the Midwest!!

I'll check my rain gauge in the morning Jeremy.  Still raining here and it's bedtime for me.  

I'm detecting an outflow boundary on radar. a lot of cases that means the storms are weakening.

60 mph winds in pleasant hill! I think that may have been a small bow that Jeremy was talking about. ST warning for lafayette and johnson county now.

Thanks Jeremy.  I was looking for a big bow. :)  Bones and Tyler, you two were right. :)  Next time let me know what location it is near if it is small as I may not catch it. :)

Kristi

.59" here in Platte City ---clear skies to the west and northwest --can see a gorgeous sunset.

Lots of flash flood warning in the area.  Please be safe if you need to be out tonight!  

Kristi

Jeremy,

1.08" inches of rain in the gauge over here on the East side of Lawrence. Plus, quarter size hail mixed in with some smaller variations.

***************

Thanks for the reports!

Jeremy

Heavy rain and gusty winds here in La Cygne. Winds are strong, but not as bad as last monday. Power Just came back on! Yippee.

hi Jeremy, .78 here in Se Lee's Summit.  Is there alot more to come?  Kristy

.94 inches in Platte Woods (I-29 and 72nd)

We received .78 in Lenexa. We lost power for about 45 minutes. It went off when the storm began to blow through, we had some pretty strong winds.

Looks like another big cell moving from the Garnett area and taking aim on the Miami/Linn line.

The winds were incredible (?) here....they have since died down. Just a moderate rain with some heavier burst's now. We have a inner tube that blew into our drive way and the closest people to have one that have kids is about 4 blocks away. Hmm wonder where it came from!! Sure hope the rain shuts off soon...we are suppose to have a T-ball game tomorrow night.
Monica
Pleasanton, KS

We've had .75 inches of rain so far this evening.  I will give a final total in the AM.

Kristi

*******************

Thanks for passing along the total Kristi!

Jeremy

I see lots of redevelopment between Salina and Manhantan, appears that it may be moving this way.  I wouldn't mind a nice long rainy night here in the north, we could use a steady rain overnight.  I am keeping my fingers crossed for more rain.

*******************

The disturbance is moving into western Kansas so more showers and storms should develop.  A good rain looks to be on the way tonight...concern for flooding, but the hail/wind threat is heading southeast with that line.

Jeremy

Just a hair over 1" in Waldo, goodnight all and have a beautiful Monday.

I went out a few minutes ago (right as it started raining again) and have .75" in the rain gauge at 70 & Blue Ridge.  

It's still storming here in Lee's Summit.  So far we have .88" of rain but it is still raining.

Here is a graphic showing all the current weather alerts.

Jacob

So far over an inch at N Tullis and N 76th St near Shoal Creek.

started to rian  agian here in bonner springs

do you think we will see 4"+ somewhere in the metro? What areas would be setup for the most rain at this point?

****************

I still think our forecast of 1-3"+ looks good.  If there are 4" totals they would be in isolated areas.  A lot will hinge on how widespread the rain/storms are as the disturbance heads our way overnight.  There's a pretty steady rain over the region right now and those will likely continue on and off tonight. 

Jeremy

Interesting write-up by the ICT NWS - should today be "National Tornado Day"?

http://www.meteorologynews.com/2008/06/08/june-8th-national-tornado-day/

The rain looks to be increasing in coverage along that line of storms...One thing Id thought id point out about the southern extent of the line is those storms on the Oklahoma/texas panhandal border....They are not moving and look very very intense, I wonder what the rain total will be, and hail size will be when all is said and done. I thought i would take the focus off of our area for a second.

thoughts.........

Alex

Okay guys. have we made it through another night yet? nope I guess not I just heard more thunder and the dog is still shaking. Does anyone know of any widespread power outages? It was an absolute DELUGE here with quite a bit of lightning and a moderate amount of thunder. I don't have a rain guage set up here because my balcony isn't the best place for it but I would imagine we got at least an inch out of that. All an all a good night for me. I hope it was for everybody else as well!

Started raining again since awhile ago. 0.02" of rain added on the previous total of 1.08", for a total of 1.10" of liquid.

Ray over in East Lawrence

.67 inches at 151st and Mur-Len in Olathe as of 9 PM.

******************

Thanks for the total Eswar!

Jeremy

Have you guys seen all that rain developing and strengthening a bit heading up from Oklahoma and Wichita?

Just some nice soaking rains here in Lee's Summit.  I hope it continues to be this nice steady rain all night...but something tells me it might pick up in intensity later tonight.

up to 1.45" in Gardner at 167th and Kill Creek rd.

Storms are just now beginning in the Truman Lake/Lake of the Ozarks area.  The wind is really blowing and I've seen a few small limbs and lots of leaves flying by.  Laying out the flashlights and candles!

WOW, some awesome thunder going on. Just stepped outside to check the downspouts and I've got lots of tree frogs on the porch and I almost squashed a huge ol'toad. Guess they are trying to stay dry too.

As usual, I'm still waiting for yhe storm to get here. I'm not worried or stressed out ~ yeah! go me. From what I've on our local stations: heavy rain, flash flooding, 60 mph winds, tornados - unlikely. Sounds good tp me. As soon as the front edge gets here, I'm off to bed.

Good idea gmajc! I'll grab a flash light in case power goes out.

Jeremy,
Rain report for your second weather segment! :)
In Lenexa at 79th and Lackman, I just went outside and my rain gauge is at exactly 1.00" Still have some very vivid lightning and moderate rain here as well. Actually a pretty good light show for how little it is raining right now.

David

Lorie,
I got Joplin on my radar site for you! Looks like a bit of severe weather to your north, maybe some .5" hail for your area and gusty winds. Have a good night!

David

Oh you're a pal, David!

just a thought. i was checking my power company's website to see if there were any outages in my area. well as i was looking at the map there was a link to "Report a Power Outage Online" Think about it. maybe i am missing something but how would that work. honestly.

***************

Wireless internet on a laptop:)

Jeremy

hasnt really stopped raining here where i live since it started around 830, rain gauge is still out of commission. Moderate rain, some lightening and loud thunder. hopefully the steady rain will put me to sleep. no more loud thunder though it actually woke up my daughter which it usually never does.

New severe thunderstorm warnings for an area of thunderstorms that is increasing to the northwest of Wichita, and moving to the northeast. There appears to be an increasing area of thunderstorms from around Manhattan to just east of Dodge City. Looks like more rain is a good bet!

David

not if your router doesnt have power!

new blog

do you think lee's summit is closer to the 1/2in or 2in mark for overnight rainfall?  Kristy

1.14" inches of rain so far this evening. I will have my rain total when the rain has subsided fr the night.

Goodnight
Ray from East Lawrence
