Severe Storms, Tornadoes Possible in Kansas City

0:00A cold front's rolling into the region Tuesday, hitting northwestern Missouri around 10am and sliding through the Kansas City area between 2 and 4pm. It'll stall out near a line from Fort Scott to St. Louis by Tuesday night, kicking off scattered rain and thunderstorms later that evening into overnight. Unseasonably warm temps will push 82 degrees on Tuesday way, above the usual 61 for Le March before storms pick up steam. With widespread showers in the afternoon, the big concern ramps up then as officials warn of large hail, damaging winds and even a few tornadoes possible, putting Kansas City at a slight risk, level 2 out of 5. Heavy rain Wednesday evening through Thursday morning could spark flooding on creeks and streams with storms tapering off from west to east Thursday, afternoon and temps in the mid 60s. More showers hit Friday into Saturday morning, with another shot of strong storms and totals around 2 to 4 inches of rain, higher in spots before.
