Kansas City metro could see severe storm activity Tuesday, including 60 mph wind: NWS
The National Weather Service on Tuesday warned of possible severe weather events that may affect parts of the Kansas City metro by late afternoon or nighttime, including high winds and flash flooding.
Storms were moving along northeastern Kansas earlier Tuesday that were developing along a cold front that showed a main hazard of high winds, the weather service’s Topeka office reported earlier Tuesday. In Kansas City, the weather service said wind gusts reaching speeds as high as 60 mph presented the greatest potential hazard.
Other possible hazards included flash flooding and quarter-sized hail.
A graphic shared by the weather service showed a slight chance of storm activity around northern parts of the metro, including Kansas City, Kansas, and parts of the Northland. Other nearby cities facing possible hazards were St. Joseph and Leavenworth.
