Tracking possible severe storms today: stormy, hot weekend ahead

This morning, skies are dry and will remain that way through lunchtime. Later this afternoon, there is a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms across northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas. As a cold front approaches this afternoon and evening, a few storms could develop along it — some of which may become severe. The primary hazards will be damaging winds and heavy rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding. After the storms pass, skies will dry out again, and overnight lows will drop into the upper 60s. Tomorrow morning, expect a few more clouds. There is a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms in our area, but most of the activity is trending south of I-70. Flood warnings are still in effect across northwest Missouri due to heavy rainfall on Monday and Tuesday. There is still a flood warning for Buchannan and Platte County, as moderate flooding is occurring on the Platte River, as of today this warning does not expire until 7 am on Sunday, June 29, 2025. This weekend will be hot and humid, with heat index values ranging from the mid-90s to upper 90s. There is also a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms both days. Afternoon highs will be in the low 90s, making for a hot and stormy weekend.

Two children are still missing. Heavy rain on June 9 and 10 caused by a cold front resulted in floods that swept away victims and their houses, trapped others in their homes, damaged roads and other infrastructure and cut electricity supplies.
