Here’s the latest:Friday storm timeline:The newest data shows storms firing up ahead of a cold front, as early as 1 p.m. in the Kansas City metro area. Then, when that front passes through between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., we’ll see a second round of thunderstorms.Those storms should move out of the metro area as early as 7 p.m., with the entire system moving east of our coverage area between 9 and 10 p.m.Friday’s storm risks:The biggest risk during this time remains strong straight-line winds, with models showing some over 70 miles per hour. The storms also show the potential for strong hail cores, producing large hail on the ground, and could support a tornado or two.KMBC 9’s Futurescan also shows the storms starting to bow as they pass over Kansas City. A bow echo is where we see outflow winds coming from the thunderstorms. Those will accelerate at that speed of over 70 miles per hour as the storms push through Henry and Johnson Counties in Missouri. Be prepared:The Storm Prediction Center has given the area a broad brush for severe risks tonight, and Kansas City is now included in the risk for the strongest winds. Make sure you’ve got any loose items outside tied down. This system could be over our area during the peak evening commute. Use caution if you must head out on the roads. Make sure you have multiple ways to receive severe weather alerts like the KMBC 9 News app, EAS alerts on your phone, or a NOAA Weather Radio. We could still see a few light showers into the overnight hours, but nothing severe.The best news is that we have a beautiful, calm weekend ahead. It will be a little colder on Saturday with a breezy high of 58 degrees. We’ll drop down to 38 degrees Sunday morning, and back up to 69 degrees Sunday afternoon. Our next chance for showers and storms won’t be until next Thursday and Friday.
