If it rains, will we cool off?

We were just in Independence and saw two impressive rain shafts in the Lee's Summit and probably Grandview areas.

I'm so not a happy person right now. Will those cells maintain intensity and make it to the metro? I just started a new job today and have to get up at like 6am. I really need the sleep!!!

When should we expect strong to severe storms in the metro area? Also, what type of severe weather should we expect? Tornados, Wind, Hail, or a combination?

Thanks

Lillyanya — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:30:35 GMT

I heard mainly large hail and damaging winds. The SPC has us in a 2% chance for tornadoes on their convective outlook thing. Trust me. I feel the same way you do Chieffan. :(

Hopefully the bad stuff doesn't make it here, although, we do need the rain.

Thanks Lillyanya. Looks like it could be a long night. Hopefully not but I didn't think there was a big threat for tornados up north today and it looks like there are quite a few tornado warnings in north east Missouri right now. Hopefully they will weaken before they move south.

Thanks again

Gary, the sky in the northland is producing some beautiful storm clouds.

It was absolutely POURING at Wal-Mart in Lee's Summit, but at my house in near 291N and 50 in Lee's Summit, there was not a drop!

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

Lillyanya — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:46:51 GMT

They're reporting tornadoes on the ground to the Northeast of here.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

chieffan07 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:57:37 GMT

Right now it looks like all the severe weather is to the northeast moving southeast. Can anybody tell me if these severe storms are going to start forming to the north or west of here or should the worst of it stay to the east?

Thanks

Braysmama — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:04:32 GMT

Sounds like the SPC may issue another watch closer to the metro....just wondering how far south these storms will really make it......

kb0rpj — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:05:05 GMT

time to do the rain dancing folks!

KSCityKitty — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:23:18 GMT

Ok, hearing sirens in Lenexa although I don't see anything on the radar.

NicoleWasHere — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:30:33 GMT

A small isolated shower was overhead of us not too long ago, but nothing major. When mom and I were coming out of the store on 103rd and state line, I saw a lot of big clouds and several heavy looking rainshafts. Mom's boyfriend said something about there being thunder, too.

Nothing for us, now, in south KCMO, but I'm rather curious to know what might move in later tonight. I hope it rains and cools us off, big time.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

Lillyanya — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:32:59 GMT

Is all that one the radar really there? Or no. It's like one radar loop and BOOM there's a bunch of stuff to the south!

Lillyanya — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:35:34 GMT

Never mind, I guess that it was just a fluke.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

WycoSpotter — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:37:36 GMT

I have a feeling that KC will get missed by most if not all of the thunderstorm activity.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

Lizbaugh — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:40:00 GMT

I am a little confused...I thought it was going to miss the metro? Did something change?

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

chieffan07 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:41:36 GMT

I hope your right Wyco. I want it to cool off like everyone else but I hate thunderstorms at night, especially if they are severe. By the way, when is the Tornado threat going to be over, or is it already?

Thanks

I was listening to glens reports on the scanner, decided to chase around 8:30. Was already too little too late by than. but i heard the call for spotter activation, so being a spotter i went. got to chula and saw a wall cloud to the east but little to no rotation at all. so much for that chase!

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

spotter — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 02:54:59 GMT

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

spotter — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:05:43 GMT

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

homemom — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:08:01 GMT

Thunder and cloud to ground lightening just north of Smithville...sprinkles just beginning. Bring on the rain and the cooler temps...PLEASE!!

chieffan07 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:20:54 GMT

Sorry to be keep asking so many questions, just get worried when I hear "severe", but what are the chances of severe weather tonight and into the overnight hours for the metro area? Also, is the Tornado threat over yet for the metro area (especially the Liberty/Clay Como area).

Thanks

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

chieffan07 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:46:33 GMT

Should the line that we (Clay and Platte Counties) are currently expierencing be all for tonight or should there be redevelopment?

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

KansasPatriot — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:54:11 GMT

about 20 min ago I was on my deck and saw some rather intense glowing/flashes to the northeast of stateline and 435.

mstauss — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:13:41 GMT

We are getting pounded here in Trimble, MO. No hail but torrential rain and constant wind gusts at or above 35 mph. My rain gauge only says .31" so far, but since it has been raining sideways for the last 15 minutes I don't know how accurate that is.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

bewild79 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:22:12 GMT

Wow, there must be some good outflow from this storm to the northeast of me here at 169 and 68th. Just had a big wind gust

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

mstauss — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:27:26 GMT

And now there is nothing. No rain and 2 mph winds. .35" total rain.

re: Thunderstorms forming on the front

StormWyndd — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:58:42 GMT

so is that it for the rain chances for tonight? I was at the royals game tonight and missed all the weather.

Grambo624 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:59:47 GMT

Tonight driving back from Chicago on U.S. 36, I made a pit stop in Macon and heard from people in the town that the county was under tornado warning and then heard the same on the radio when I hit the road again. I looked to north where the cell was located and saw a impressive wall cloud. Tried to take pics with the cell but it was just too dark. Further west I saw two different lowerings taht appeared to be funnel clouds in between there and Brookfield. It was an impressive show!!!

juba — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:47:23 GMT

Looks like there should be flash flood watches in MU! Not a drop today probably.
