Kansas City-area residents on both sides of the state line and both sides of the Missouri River are cleaning up storm debris associated with two tornadoes that struck the area on Wednesday, June 8.
As we enter severe weather season, Chris Hohmann tells you everything you need to know about severe thunderstorms.
A morning round of showers and thunderstorms is currently forecast to move through parts of the Gulf Coast states. A few of these storms may be severe, but the main threat ramps up in the afternoon and continuing into Wednesday night.
During the afternoon hours, some of the states, especially in the Moderate or Enhanced risks, could see supercell thunderstorms develop. These types of storms are discrete, individual storms that are known for producing tornadoes. Not all of these storms will produce tornadoes, but given the favorable environment for tornadoes, it will be possible with some of them.
