Chance of severe thunderstorms this evening
High: 96.0°F at 4:00 PM
Low: 69.0°F at 5:00 AM
Storm timing: 11:00 PM – 12:00 PM
Storm Risk: 2 - Slight
Looks like we have a start time around 11pm this evening and looks to occur off and on throughout the night and to about noon tomorrow. With it being so late in the storm season I am curious of this wil be a beefy system.
Here is another interesting thing. Out of the entire US one location claims they don't have supplies for sending up balloons for a atmospheric sounding. That is Topeka. If there are others i haven't seen or heard of any. But from looking at the sounding map it looks pretty complete to me. They haven't had suppies in over month. So they only way to get some sort of sounding is to use models. Is it really what they say it is, or are they just giving the public something. I have worked in the federal government enough to know how things work.
So with that we will just have to wait and see what the outcome will be this evening. #BlueSpringsWx #MoWx
