.@lnanderson tracking TORNADO WARNING live on @KSHB41 in Bates County, she says if you're in this warning- get to your safe space! https://t.co/s1h1zrkIdh

A very dangerous situation sets up out east today as the same line of storms we’re experiencing this morning moves into the Mississippi River Valley by the early evening.

NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC

4/2/25: A Tornado Outbreak is expected across parts of the Mid MS and Lower OH Valleys into the eastern Ozarks today. Numerous tornadoes, including multiple long-track EF3+ are likely. Severe storms are also possible from north TX to the Great Lakes. https://t.co/St6FGvEy8Q https://t.co/c2Sh76bCTE

RT @LindsayShively: Heads up drivers! We're already seeing issues on the roads. @danielaleontv is tracking 2 crashes now.

5:30AM RADAR: A line of severe storms is making its way across the city this morning. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued from Jackson County, MO to Linn County, KS until 6:15am. Strong winds up to 60 mph most likely. The extremely heavy rain will impact roads too! https://t.co/JbkPK8oqCd

This is the outflow boundary! It's cooling down the air ahead of the storms and allowing them to weaken.

@lnanderson Is that the cold front i see getting ahead of the storms on radar??? Surprised that they haven’t put out new thunderstorm warnings yet for the metro https://t.co/koF0OFVDR5

WOAH look at this squall line! AMAZING! It's over 500 miles long with warnings along the entire line from northern Missouri to the TX/OK border. https://t.co/fSPHvCdhQN

3:50am RADAR: Getting ready for a very noisy next few hours over KC! Here's when you can expect the line of severe storms to enter your area. https://t.co/Px27TWAg0M

3:45am: A Severe Thunderstorm Warning includes much of the KC Metro as the line of storms is quickly approaching. Prepare for strong wind gusts along the leading edge. This warning is in place until 4:15am. https://t.co/tEqLgz9Jex

RT @KSHB41: UPDATE | The Kansas City area is included in a tornado watch until 10 a.m. Latest update from @lnanderson: https://t.co/FoYGSc…

The squall line is getting close! We now have Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that extend from Douglas, Jefferson, Leavenworth & Platte counties as this line could produce 60 mph wind gusts & quarter size hail. The warnings are in place until 3:45am. https://t.co/amn0iGJMxT

A Tornado Watch now in effect for most of our area as a line of storms approaches KC around 5-8am. Storms could also produce strong, damaging wind gusts & hail into the morning commute. https://t.co/dmDPhvnnoD

UPDATE: An Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) now includes the KC metro, areas up to 36-HWY & western Missouri for the increased potential of 75+ mph winds along the squall line that comes through after 12am. The tornado & hail risk still present but more likely over central/eastern KS. https://t.co/lb3YwYfPhI

WEATHER BLOG | The Kansas City area is now included in an enhanced risk for severe thunderstorms tonight and early Wednesday. KSHB 41’s @lnanderson breaks down the latest update. https://t.co/g12eHHNUxL

Prepare for a noisy & active night tonight! Severe storms are likely between 9pm - 4am with all severe hazards possible. The greatest tornado & large hail threat is highlighted in the orange area, southwest of KC. Make sure emergency alerts are on before going to bed tonight! https://t.co/2ocaNAVWPC

RT @JeffPennerKSHB: We will see calmer, but cool weather tonight. April is going to start with active weather as our next significant storm…

Our next round of severe weather ramps up tomorrow night, after 9pm. A slight risk (level 2/5) is in place for the entire area as all hazards are possible. Large hail & strong winds are most likely, but the tornado threat is not zero, especially if storms form ahead of a front! https://t.co/ols2WF41A1

Temperatures are warming up as the area of rain & storms over eastern Kansas are falling apart. Clouds will likely keep daytime highs in the 70s - still feeling great for Opening Day! And luckily, we're dry! https://t.co/DB6RINYd9h
