NBC Action Communities

Just enough sprinkles to wet the ground here at 130th and State Avenue in KCK. According to the latest radar scan, looks like my area of WYCO is done for the night. Looking forward to the cooler temps none the less, and unfortunately back to watering.

Torrential rain for at least 5 minutes here at 68th Terr. and Oak.  Lots of lightening and thunder.  No hail yet. Not too windy.  Dea

What do I Think? I think I'm ready for booming thunder, lots of lightning, wind, and loads of rain!

I saw a radar that is indicating two parts of the cell south of here that has tornado producing conditions...any info?

heavy rain & lots of thunder & lightening.  I got almost 3/4 of an inch (.72 to be exact) in Liberty.

Don't buy into that bull crap becky I wouldn't expect any tornadoes out this tonight especially that there are no warnings. Jeremy- your take?

Rain is finally letting up- driveway looked like a swimming pool a few minutes ago!  I need to get a rain gauge as well- would be interested to know how much we just got.  Dea- 68th Terr. and Oak.  

Just asking lol

ahhh now it's here. I can breathe.

do I see correctly that platte county is out of the watch?

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

That is correct.

Jeremy

as of 11:00pm we have only .13 here in Shawnee.  But the Royals beat the Cardinals!  Wooo Hoo!

Hmmm... just took the dog out and I have shiny stars overhead here in La Cygne, but I can see vivid lightening to the North.

My poor little puppy is shaking form the thunder and lightning but personally I love it!  She is going to her daddy to comfort her...he's the weather man around here.   I can't wait to go crawl into bed and listen to the thunderstorms

LOL

my dog can't though. she's scared out of her mind. it's kinda funny. stupid animal.

Hail...you say that, but I know the truth.  Your an animal lover at heart...

Constant lightning and torrential rain in SE Blue Springs.

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

I saw one report of quarter size hail in Blue Springs.

Jeremy

ya know i've never met a cat that was scared of a thunderstorm, or anything for that matter. but my Dog just has her stupid tail stuck between her stupid legs and is panting in fear because of a little lightning and thunder and my two cats are rolling around on the floor playing.

Just a little under an 1" of rain in Carrollton, MO. We also experienced lots of lightning, wind, and a little bit of hail mixed in with the storm.

Farm Girl do you see any Sprites or Red or Blue Jets?

looks like my location in sedalia may escape. had some activity develop to the south. had a small develop that looks like its moving to the north of us and the main line may move to the west of us. Have lots of lighting around though and about .22 of rain but nothing to bad

Lots of rain and lightening here in Belton but it's not even very loud.  And bewild if you were seeing the tornado vortex signature on Wunderground...I've had to learn not to get too excited about that.  Often times it switches back and forth between that and the hail signature so quickly...even when it shows the tornado vorts I've rarely seen anything come of it.  Just in the short time I've been using Wunderground that is, I barely know what I'm talking about. LOL

I'm lovin life as there is a hard core thunderstorm goin on. wooooohooooo

auroramama, yea I am still learning too thanks!
Jonathan lol

good night all!!

HailJon... not following ya???

NWS just came on MERS and said that there is currently not anything severe in the KC area.  They also said storms and conditions are still ripe to the north and storms may continue until 2AM.  The watch continues.

Hail my cat is scared of thunderstorms but she's the only cat I know of who's scared of them.  Then again she is scared of everything so I don't know if it's the thunderstorms or just that she's a scardey cat.  My other cat isn't scared of anything, even storms.

The rain & everything is done here.

So far Olathe North HS- 0.57"

We are in Lenexa and the lightning in the south sky is constant. I don't know that I've ever seen so much lightning in my life. What a show - it's beautiful!

G'night Becky.

FarmGirl Sorry, Sprites and Blue, Red Jets are a sort of after product of lightning and they shoot out the tops of thunderstorms and they look like an electrical "spray"  and they emit right out the top of a thunderstorm sometimes going as high as 40 miles into the atmosphere, I was wondering if maybe you could see some since you were under clear sky but could still see the storm in the distance.

1.25 so far in SE Lee's Summit, still coming down  put not has heavy!

storm lover. that's weird i've had nothing but cats all my life and they just don't care. but my dog, she just goes parylized during storms or even fireworks

Wow, that sounds cool, but I can only see the yellow and orange flashes with an occassional blue flash to the North. Starting to get cloudy again and now I can see storms to the south too. Looks like I'm sandwiched in. Bet I bet I get some rain in the next 45 minutes or so from the Northern storms.

Rain is stopped but there is still nonstop lightning.

Finally has stopped here in lee's summit.  1.50 here on the se side.  very heavy rain and tons of lightning. kristy

This is the best lightning show I've seen in a long time!  Spectacular looking to the southern skies right now.  This storm definitely has had a lot better viewing as it's exiting than when it was approaching.  

I found this chart that converts knots into MPH. Very handy. http://www.unitcalc.com/sc_knot2mile_hour.php

kristy what kind of gauge are you using? my totals seem to always be lower than yours? I've got a la crosse digital gauge. I think we live within a mile of each other.
I'm 1 mile east of  of 50 hwy and Todd George on the north side.

vdomanz, I am real close to legacy park off langsford.  what was your total? i have no idea what kind of gauge my dad installed.  you probably have a better one though:) kristy

Quite the lightening and thunder show 3 miles northwest of Leavenworth. No hail at all and maybe 5 minutes of gusting winds. Flashlight in hand I made the journey out to see how much rain all that excitement created and was disappointed to see only .05 in the gauge. Guess with summer here, I should be thankful for anything I get, and as a bonus it did cool it off enough to leave the A/C off and fling open the windows.

To all of you who think your dogs are afraid of the weather, please remember their ears are extremely sensitive, so it isn't as much fear as it is pain.

Have a great night

Only .45 here at 68th and leavenworth rd in Kck. I was hopeing for at least an inch.

-Rodney

.2 inches at 151st and Mur-Len in Olathe.

Had .75" here on south side of Liberty.  Crazy lightning show.  I haven't seen bright white lightning like that in a long time.  Never did see any hail even though we were under the warning.

Sorry this is totally off topic but since it seems to be a recurrent theme tonight (and in my house as well), Benadryl is totally safe for dogs and works very well to calm their nerves during storms.  You can give 1 for every 10 lbs. of weight but I would not exceed 3...my male dog weighs 100 lbs. and we only give him 3 at a time.  Sorry again as I know that was not really weather related but wanted to share.  

Look at the outflow boundary forming south of Harrisonville.

auroramama I don't think you could give an inappropriate comment on here if you tried.

yes it is impressive farmgirl. I wish I had one of them headed my way. I always like to stand out and wait for those, they are interesting weather phenomenon.

Just checked my rain gauge and I have 1.40 inches at my house in Kingsville.

Yikes, that monster cell out to the west near Burlington is looking nasty. Hope it weakens soon. Does anyone think it has the chance to hit the La Cygne area?

My buddy's house at 47th and Nieman got extremely heavy rain for about ten minutes with some close lightning and loud thunder...then it was over. This was around 10:45. As I write this, at 1:15AM, there is still lightning down to the south and southeast. Probably an isolated storm backbuilding.
This weekend is supposed to be beautiful. Highs around 80, lows around 60. Enjoy it because it looks like the summer pattern is building up within the next week to ten days.

I sneezed and missed the storm.  Doggone it.

I was working on a blog on the LRC similar to today with what Notes did..but where it matches.  Its done now.

Pretty cool.

Jonathan are you still around?  Did you end up getting any exciting weather your way (I'm not sure where you live)?

Why did the rain finally get its act together south of here?  I watched the satellite from Omaha till it finally got right on top of us here and it never developed into a wide spread area of rain until it was past our viewing area.  Is that mysterious invisible cap starting to set in over us here??

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

Tizrah,

As it moved south it got later in the night, when the low level jet strengthens.  This is what fed & intensified those T-Storms.  We had bad timing again.

Jeff

Just checked the rain gauge and there was a measele .8" in it. :(

Good morning weather team!!!

Just checking in from SW Lawrence-did not get a drop here last night. One can really see the front on the radar this morning with that fairly good size complex out by Salina that is moving along it. (I think??) I am wondering if maybe SW Lawrence does not get clipped by that complex as it heads east south east. There is some rain just south of Manhattan that appears to be heading more east south east than just south east. Not really holding my breath as the front has for sure cleared this area but hoping to just get clipped and squeeze out a little rain.

Have a great day and as always, thanks for reading and providing so much great information on this Blog-just a great/fantastic place to follow/learn about weather!! Also, have a great Holiday everybody-we're off to Lone Star Lake (just for reference, Lone Star is about 10 miles SW of Lawrence-it was built in the 1930's as a WPA lake) for the next 2 weeks!!!! We ususally have one incident of fun weather out there (last 4th we had the flood and then a tornadao or a wall cloud on the 3rd) so I will report any interesting occurnces!!!

Bill Scott you sneezed I blinked and missed it in Lawrence

.5" at Hwy 291 and N. Woodland.

NW Lawrence received a whopping 0.01".  The storms missed last night and we had a very light and brief shower early this AM.

0.69 inches in North Grain Valley...we also had pebble size hail.

Quite the sound & light show here at 150 & 291 in Lee's Summit last night. Heavy rain started about 11:15PM and ended about 12:15AM. Total rainfall as of 7:00AM this morning was 1.65"!
