Sorry Jeremy I did not get any pics. I was fishing on the boat with my friend, untill the storm got close enough to see lightning, and we raced home before it started raining, and I completely forgot to grab the camera. I wish I would of, that shelf cloud was awesome, and the clouds behind that, which the rain was falling were an amazine blue green color.

I am mad I did not think to grab the camera while it was hailing hard. There was very little rain, and it was mainly hail with that 2nd storm. It looks like more storms are on the way here in Marceline.

I live in West Central Jackson County South of I 70, Do I have a prayer for a storm tonight? doesn't looked to be the trend. at least I had a teeny storm last night.

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

Your chance is pretty small, but can't be ruled out.  More of the stuff will stay north of I-70 in MO.  Looks like the backbuilding is not occurring like the RUC was forecasting.

Jeremy

I got some good pics from the northland of a shelf cloud or at least what I think was a shelf cloud!  I'll try and send them in.

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

Please send them in to jnelson@nbcactionnews.com

Thanks!

Jeremy

I will bet you a steak dinner that JOCO does not get more than .05" Jeremy :)

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

Probably not...even if you include what fell this a.m. :)

Jeremy

I'll Take you up on that steak dinner Joe! I'm starving!

JoCo Executive shows a trace for the day, and some nearby PWS show up to .04 inches.

Two hours for that amount?  Seems like it is plausible...but doubt it happens too.

;-)

Someone gonna get fired tonight! LOL making light of the jackups on the 10pm news tonight! :) lol

just teasin

Lets fire up the grill Jonathan!!!    

Cmon Scott,  I will offer you the same bet and include all of tomorrow as well  :P

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in a while but I was just wondering when the storm chances for the Liberty/Claycomo area were going to be done tonight.

Thanks

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

If nothing pops close to the metro by 1am...I think our chance has passed.  For KC the chance at this point is 20%.

Jeremy

im sure this has been mentioned before, but, where can you get maps showing where the warm front currently is?

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

I look at station obs.  The RAP Weather site is great for surface maps all over the country!

Jeremy

i was working in your news room on monday morning removing 2 office station for some remodeling,i was excited about this thinking i would see your weather set , well i was told told it was upstiars , so i didnt see it , well big question i will be back to put it up after the remodeling is done could i ask too see your 41 news weather set.

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

Email or call any of us and we would be more than happy to show you!

Jeremy

chieffan:  5% chance you see anything... you should sleep well tonight.

Randy:  A simple map to see the fronts can be found here on the main page of:  http://www.wunderground.com/US/Region/US/Fronts.html
Im sure there are many more that have more detail but this is a good site

I think that warm front is my house. It feels like it for sure.

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

Winds are south at KCI.  Front is continuing to lift north.  I don't think storms will be able to develop south of the front tonight.

Jeremy

well im aware of the wunderground site and just recently got grlevel3 on my new laptop(much more impressed with grlevel3!) but i was just wondering if there were any other websites that people use.

Thanks Jeremy

mag63,

It's great! I've been to the studio once, and I wondered how could anybody need to buy a house? I rather live in the Wx Center! lol ************** It's a blast! But after all it is work you need to leave at some point:) Jeremy

Jeremy,

The storms seem to be back building back toward and south of St. Joe. I think the RUC had the storms back building a bit further south, but none the less they seem to be back building to me.

Any thoughts?.....Alex

WILD is only way i describe tonight.. simply wild here in trenton.. went to bed right after the weather at 10pm and thought it would be a nice quiet evening.. but it's been anything but.. since 1015pm we've had over 2.10" of rain.. we have MASSIVE water issues here in trenton right now.. numerous interesections have standing water in them.. and it's still raining like crazy *************** Thanks for the update. Make sure to email some pictures to Brett and myself. Those storms have just been hanging over parts of your area! Jeremy

ya im listening to you on my scanner glen and watchin radar. you got it prety bad right now!

wind is gettin crazy here in chillicothe even though they are still goin north of us.

according to my scanner, very large tree down in town in the middle of the road due to extreme wind. *************** Those storms may find Chillicothe again Randy. I'm sure the light show is pretty cool to your north! Jeremy

just a couple of updates from trenton.. we have water flowing over us 65 in several locations between trenton and the south grundy county line... so far we've had 3" of rain on the day.. and 2.68 of that fell since 1014pm... obviously flooding is going to be a bit of an issue here later tonight

looks like we might get it finally. LOTS AND LOTS OF LIGHTNING!

Looks like Marceline is about to get round number 4 of thunderstorms tonight, not counting the rain and storms this morning. Awesome lightning show just to the north. I am not sure how much rain has fell, but I would say 1.5" so far.

Those storms to the north look to be slow moving, so idk, maybe another inch to 1.5 inches.

I wonder if anything alse will form. At least I got to see some fairly heavy, and nice sized hail today!


Alex

IT seems that on the latest radar loop, that the storms are trending south, but unless anything else builds it will still miss KC metro to the east...


Brian in Lee's Summit. I can still see lightning to my NE.

storms seem to be slowly turning toward the east south east

those rumbles are gettin louder :)

we've now had 3.59" of rain since 1015pm.. this is insane, highway 13 south of gallatin CLOSED due to waist deep water; Highway 65 South of Trenton, Closed to flooding/debris/mud across the road; I'm sure there are DOZENS of smaller roads closed to flooding. **************** Glen, Make sure to email Brett. He'll be in shortly and will make sure to tell the news about this. Thanks for the update! His email is... anthony@nbcactionnews.com

guess your not comin to work in the morning huh glen? lol its gettin pretty crazy here now too. BIG BOLTS OF LIGHTNING WITH LOUD CRACKS, STILL JUST NORTH OF US. YES! NOW WE GET A SHOW! POWER JUST WENT OUT I LOVE WATCHIN LIGHTNING WITH NO LIGHTS AROUND FOR MILES. ************** Randy, Give our news desk a call and give them a heads up about the power outage and flooding. Jeremy

well that power outage didnt last long. lights are back on.

rain comin down hard here.

water now flowing into houses on cedar street in gallatin.. we are upto 3.74" since this all started.. and still pouring down rain

I'll be there if 65 is open south of trenton... Gallatin is bad shape right now, they are asking all residents to stay home right now.. i guess they have a lot of siteseers and the flooding is quite extensive in gallatin right now.. highway 6 east and west of gallatin now closed.. highway 13 is now close south of gallatin.. and likely soon north of gallatin. ************* Glen, Give our news desk a call and update them too. Jeremy

i can already see what glen is talkin about. it is pourin rain in northern chillicothe. ive already got a little over 1/4 inch here at my house with it still comin down hard. at this rate northern chillicothe could see some extensive flooding too.

I've updated the news desk on the flooding information i have right now.. the lightning has went crazy again to my west.. so i would suspect it's going to start raining like crazy.. and oddly enough.. i'm not sure if it's connected.. but there have been like 3 heart attack calls for daviess county medics since this started

daviess county sheriff is reporting heavy flooding now west of gallatin.. numerous cars floating in the water at 210th and highway 6 just west of gallatin.

funny how glen and i are the only ones keepin this blog alive, yet we both have to be to work at 7 this morning. glen, we're gonna be beat (well, at least i am).

with all this thunder and lightning, i couldn't sleep if i wanted too, randy if you have IRC, you can find me on undernet

storms seem to be turning toward the southeast now ************ This is a pretty textbook example of cells that are training. The front to the south and the LLJ pumping in the moisture to the same areas! I think parts of Iowa will see this type of setup Wednesday and Wednesday Night. Jeremy

i dont have it glen

http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?06900050
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?06899500

i think it's bad when the river gauges are nearly straight vertical, i think we are going to have some river flooding

oh boy! looks like its all turnin towards me now.

I feel sorry for you guys up there, esp you Glen.   Those storms do not look like they are moving out anytime soon.   They just keep backbuilding.    If Iowa gets anything like this tomorrow it will only make things worse for those along the rivers.

Hang in there Glen its gonna be a long night

Be Safe!!!

got somemore backbuilding!!! will it ever end?

roads are beginning to flood according to chillicothe law enforcement.

i just heard law enforcement say that pleasant hill is predicting 5 to 6 more inches for chillicothe!!!

at this rate glen and i wont be able to go into work tomorrow.

we ended up with 5.33" of rain since yesterday... 5.02" of that fell between now and 1014pm last night.

4.3 inches last night here in Marceline, MO...WOW what a night, it seemed to never stop storming, and it is still thundering out there now!

Alex

There's no need for me to post, but once again, zero precipitation last night near Liberty.  At least someone in the area got storms, otherwise the forecast of storms (50% according to NWS) would have been a complete bust. ************** Keep in mind that would not be a complete bust if the chance is less than 100%. Our % chances mean that this type of weather setup/situation would produce rain 'x' percent of the time. So the NWS forecast in my opinion didn't bust. There were also t-storms in the metro during the late afternoon/early evening. Jeremy

So what does 50% chance of rain mean?  50% of the area will get rain or it will rain half the time under conditions like they were yesterday. ************* The second part... Jeremy

Huge tower building east of KCI, elevated, with a nice rain shaft, some thunder. I have a completely unobstructed view, pretty awesome.

I can see the anvil of the KMCI cell.  Neat to look at.

As far as rainfall, looking at the storm total radar estimates, a small corridor from between Chillicothe to Brookfield just north of HWY 36 shows 9.1 inches as the max rainfall.

Pretty impressive.

From an area from Carrolton to Macon to Kirksville to Princeton to Albany, there looks to be a nice swath of 3-5 inches from this last storm.

For most within the metro loop...not much at all, if any.

Received a total of 0.89" of rain near Vivion and Davidson yesterday...0.15 from the AM showers and 0.74 from heavy t-storm at around 4:30 yesterday afternoon.
