The National Weather Service's damage survey team confirmed two tornadoes on June 3, 2025. The first tornado, assigned an unknown rating as the only damage observed was several tree branches and twigs scattered across a wide-open parking lot, briefly swept by the Truman Sports Complex. A tornado debris signature for one radar scan, along with video footage near the Interstate 435/Interstate 70 interchange, helped confirm this tornado.

LOT OF THOSE LATELY. IT SEEMS LIKE HOPEFULLY YOU DON’T GET A LOT OF ALERTS FROM THE KMBC APP TODAY, WHICH WOULD BE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. HAVE THE APP JUST IN CASE BECAUSE YEAH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. YOU WANT THE APP AND YOU WANT YOUR RAIN GEAR. IF YOU HAVEN’T HAD OUTSIDE YET AND YOU DON’T KNOW BY NOW BECAUSE IT’S PROBABLY POURING DOWN IN YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED YOUR RAIN GEAR NOT ONLY THIS MORNING, BUT FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
