🌪️ May 28, 2019. I think about this day often each spring. A mile-wide EF-4 tornado, with estimated peak winds of 170 mph, cut a 32-mile path across Douglas and Leavenworth counties in Kansas. We tracked this mostly rain-wrapped violent tornado from a safe distance along K-10 in StormTracker9 as it approached the western side of the Kansas City metro. The tornado dissipated near Bonner Springs, KS, but the parent supercell thunderstorm cycled and produced a separate EF-2 tornado near Kearney, MO. Miraculously, there were no fatalities, but 18 people were injured, and numerous homes and businesses were heavily damaged or destroyed. What do you remember from this day?

🌪️ Drone footage of a possible tornado last night near Midtown in Kansas City. The multiple bright green flashes seen coming from the ground were electrical arcs from power lines. Powerful winds, debris hurled into the wires, or damage to utility poles and lines can send bright bursts of green and blue into the night sky, illuminating the storm from below. A Tornado Warning was in effect at the time, and Doppler radar showed a signature consistent with at least damaging straight-line winds and possibly a tornado. 📸 Bryce Finkeldei looking south from the World War I Museum. Video from March 6, 2026 at approximately 11:40 PM.

$100,000,000 hail disaster in Kansas City? It’s possible after two supercell thunderstorms pummeled parts of western and northern Kansas City with hail up to 4.5 inches in diameter—that’s grapefruit-sized. Residents, business owners, insurance adjusters, and roofers have some long days and weeks ahead. Video from Angela in northern Kansas City on March 10, 2026.

❗️Destructive straight-line winds, golf ball- to baseball-sized hail, tornadoes, and school districts letting out early. Some of you may be experiencing storm anxiety and fatigue ahead of today’s severe weather risk, especially after the events of this week. Here’s a short video to watch that will hopefully help calm some of those fears and help you prepare. Posted Friday, April 17, 2026. KMBC

⌚⚡ Individual supercells are possible ahead of the dryline tomorrow between 4 PM and 7 PM across southeastern Nebraska and northeastern Kansas. Thunderstorms are expected to grow upscale into a line or clusters and move eastward into eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri between 7 PM and midnight, arriving around 9 PM to 11 PM in the Kansas City metro. Storms will continue moving eastward across Highway 65 in northern and central Missouri after midnight through 2 AM Friday. ☄️🌪️💨 Thunderstorms that initially develop off the dryline and remain individual or discrete could produce very large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a tornado or two. 💨🌪️ As storms grow upscale into a line or clusters after sunset, damaging wind will become the primary threat, with the potential for a brief tornado. 🖥️ Here’s the latest run of Futurescan showing the potential evolution of thunderstorms from late afternoon into Thursday night. It may not be 100% accurate, but I think it’s doing a good job of handling the location, timing, and evolution.

🌬❗ Dangerously cold Friday through Monday. Temperatures near 0° each morning will combine with brisk winds to produce wind chills between -5° and -25°. At the extreme of those wind chill values, frostbite can occur on exposed skin in 30 minutes or less. Once wind chills drop below 0° late Friday night, they will not rise above 0° until Sunday afternoon. Please help me prepare everyone by sharing this. Posted Thursday, January 22, 2026.
