North Kansas Being Hit Again


North Kansas is experiencing its second round of severe thunderstorms today. This morning's bow-echo moved across Kansas City and weakened and dissipated as it approached St. Louis. Thus, it was not nearly as impressive as the severe system of Friday, which apparently moved all the way into Canada, after crossing the Detroit area. The current storms are very intense; the Topeka sounding is very unstable; but conditions in southern Missouri have been modified by a secondary convective event during the day. Thus, it is unclear at this time whether the current event will be long-lived, or focussed in northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. I'm sure the folks in north Kansas are very storm weary.
