A stationary front is triggering severe thunderstorms across Missouri this evening. A few tornadoes have touched down just outside of the Kansas City area between 6:30-7PM. Several businesses and homes where damaged. These storms will continue to produce severe weather across the Ozarks overnight. The frontal boundary will move slowly southward and will bring a risk of severe storms from Oklahoma to northern Georgia on Thursday. In addition to the severe thunderstorms, flooding is also occuring. The ground is already saturated so any additional rainfall will add to the flooding. An additional 1-3 inches of rainfall is likely in many locations over the next 48 hours.
A heatwave will continue across the West. High temperatures will be in the low 100s in many areas in the West on Thursday.
The tropics are remaining calm in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. High pressure and dry dusty air from Africa will continue to limit development. However, it's a different story in the Western Pacific. Tropical Storm Chan-Hom continues to gain strength. Chan-Hom will impact Guam this Weekend.
Enjoy your Friday!
