Today’s forecast across the region:  VERY hot ahead of the cold front in Kansas/Missouri today!  Shower and storm chances increase mainly after 4/5pm lasting through the overnight with the highest risks in the shaded areas.

Here is a general time-line of the storm progression across these areas this evening and overnight:

The highest storm risks on Tuesday shift across Missouri.  Some very hit/miss activity possible across Iowa with most of Nebraska/Kansas working in drier weather through the day.  Forecast radar from 7am-10pm Tuesday (in 3-hour increments shown below).  Highest risks for more widespread storms across southern Missouri in the afternoon, with the northern parts of the state seeing a weakening round of showers and storms during the first part of the day.

Total rainfall is the trickiest part of the forecast, but here is our latest idea, touched on this more in the video.  This will require another update this afternoon, so be sure to check back!  This shows total rainfall from today through Wednesday morning.
