The threat of severe thunderstorms for the rest of day has shifted south thanks to the line of storms that went through the region this morning. However, we will maintain a concern of scattered showers and thunderstorms through the day, particularly after 5 p.m. in areas along the Kansas-Missouri border. Brief torrential rain, which may result is flooding, small hail, and lightning are the only concerns for even the strongest of the late afternoon to evening storms. Dry, but cool temperatures –in the 50s– will prevail Thursday with a breezy north wind. Here’s the 7-day forecast from the National Weather Service:
