Good afternoon, everybody. Currently, we have a severe thunderstorm watch for most of the Kansas City metro area and beyond (west to Topeka, north to the state border, ENE to Chillicothe and Carrolton, S to Butler and SW to Iola). We're here as long as we need to be updating. If you see anything interesting, please feel free to send us photos as long as you can do so safely.

Awake! Just looked at the newest short-range info. Still very quiet for tonight except: a storm cell or two near Atchison after 7p.by JD Rudd via twitter 5/8/2014 6:20:06 PM -
This is the HRRR model at 7p tonight. Not saying it's 100% right, but it typically has a decent idea. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnIg7mJCMAEib4B.pngby JD Rudd via twitter 5/8/2014 6:20:43 PM

Here is another model, the RAP, for 7p tonight. Same idea as the HRRR. Will a small line try to fire up? Perhaps. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BnIhNR5CYAAO_jV.pngby JD Rudd via twitter 5/8/2014 6:22:00 PM
