    Share KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The weather streak we are currently in is nothing short of spellbinding. It just doesn’t get much better than 70s, sunshine, light winds, and low humidity. We want to get Friday and Saturday on your radar, as we are First Warning both days as a powerful storm system arrives. With it comes very high winds, a chance for severe thunderstorms, and a 20°+ drop in temperatures. Starting with Wednesday, we kick it off with morning temperatures in the mid-40s.

One of the very rare instances where the risk of tornadoes isn’t the highest concern of the day. The severe setup in NW TX & Southern OK is just bonkers. Straight line winds to 105 mph and gargantuan 5” hail possible. It’s a *particularly dangerous situation* https://t.co/IWZEwa0Wbf
