ALL RIGHT. YEAH. JUST HOPING MY VIDEO ALONE. YEAH, YEAH. I’M LIKE, YEAH, OKAY. I’M TIRED OF SEEING THIS SHOW WHILE YOU’RE, LIKE, EATING. YEAH. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE EATING. IT SOUNDS OKAY, BUT I JUST SOMETIMES WHEN THEY FLY ON YOU. OKAY. SOUNDS AREN’T EVEN. OKAY. I. YEAH, JUST DO AWAY WITH THE WHOLE THING. ALL RIGHT? NEVILLE. YOU HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT. YES, YOU DO, BECAUSE WE HAVE A BUNCH OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. NOW, THAT BEING SAID, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE SOME TIME TO GET IN WHAT YOU NEED TO GET IN, AT LEAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. EASTER SUNDAY, THAT LOOKS LIKE STILL OUR HIGHEST CHANCE OF SEEING WIDESPREAD RAIN, AND THE RAIN REALLY COULD AFFECT YOUR EASTER PLANS. AND I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT HERE IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES. FOR NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN COMING IN. AND THAT’S GOING TO BE OVERNIGHT TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. WE ARE ALREADY SEEING STORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF CENTRAL KANSAS. THOSE STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY EXPAND AND HEAD OUR WAY BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TOMORROW. AND WE COULD EVEN SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT TOMORROW EVENING. FAR NORTH, REALLY CLOSE TO THE MISSOURI IOWA BORDER. SO FOR THE BULK OF US, THE ACTION TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE MAINLY IN THE MORNING. AND THAT’S IT. HERE’S FUTURESCAN IT PICKS UP ON THAT CHANCE. THIS IS 5:00 IN THE MORNING. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE COULD BE SOME THUNDERSTORMS AROUND, SO IT MIGHT WAKE YOU UP A LITTLE EARLY. OR IF THAT’S THE TIME WHEN YOU’RE GETTING UP AND GETTING READY, SOME RAIN THUNDERSTORMS AROUND TO SLOW US DOWN, AT LEAST FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE MORNING COMMUTE. AND THEN BY 8 OR 9, THOSE STORMS ARE OUT OF HERE. DRIER WEATHER. WE’LL SEE THE CLOUDS BREAKING UP WILL BE HEATING UP. THE WIND IS ALSO GOING TO BE PICKING UP, SO IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY, WARM, DRY. HEADING INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THEN BY OUR THURSDAY EVENING LATE AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN WAY UP IN NORTHERN MISSOURI. MORE SO UP INTO IOWA. THAT’S WHERE WE COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW EVENING, AND THOSE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND. BUT AGAIN, AS OF NOW, WE’RE SEEING MORE OF THAT SHIFT UP INTO PARTS OF IOWA AND NEBRASKA. BUT WE’LL BE MONITORING THIS TOMORROW EVENING BETWEEN ABOUT SEVEN AND 11 P.M. ON YOUR NINE DAY FORECAST. SO TOMORROW IN THE MORNING, THOSE STORMS WILL COME EARLY, MAINLY BEFORE 8 A.M. SO THAT’S THAT IMPACT YOU SEE THERE FOR SIX. STILL COULD BE DEALING WITH STORMS AFTER THAT. DECREASING CLOUDS. WINDY. THOSE WIND GUSTS OUT OF THE SOUTH WILL BE GUSTING UP NEAR 40 MILES AN HOUR. 71 AT LUNCHTIME. HOW ABOUT LOW TO MID 80S FOR THE AFTERNOON. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT LIKE THE WEATHER THAT WE HAD ON THIS PAST SUNDAY. THEN FOR MONDAY WE’LL HAVE OR EXCUSE ME, MONDAY, FRIDAY. LET ME NOT GET THOSE TWO DAYS CONFUSED. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AS YOU GO EAST OF I-35. SO IN OUR EASTERN COMMUNITIES, YOU’LL HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY OF SEEING THUNDERSTORMS. AND SOME OF THOSE COULD BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. FRIDAY. HEADING INTO OUR EVENING HOURS 75 FOR THE HIGH, MUCH COOLER FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY IN THE UPPER 50S. SOME LINGERING SHOWERS EARLY SATURDAY. THEN ON EASTER SUNDAY, THAT’S WHEN WE COULD SEE SOME HEAVIER RAIN. WE’LL BE DRIER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK, AND THEN STORM CHANCES CREEP BACK IN FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. I DO WANT TO SHOW YOU NOW THAT BACK HALF OF THE RAIN. SO THIS WILL BE FRIDAY. HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND, WE’LL HAVE A COLD FRONT ROLLING THROUGH. SEVERE WEATHER RISK. AS MENTIONED AS YOU GO EAST OF I-35. SO JUST OUTSIDE OF THE METRO, I’D SAY LIKE WARRENSBURG OUT TOWARDS SEDALIA, DOWN TOWARDS WARSAW, YOU COULD SEE SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY EVENING. LINGERING RAIN INTO OUR SATURDAY MORNING. I THINK WE’LL SEE SOME DRY TIME FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AROUND THE METRO. THEN WE’LL GET ANOTHER SYSTEM THAT LIFTS UP FROM THE SOUTH, AND THIS WILL BRING US MORE IN THE WAY OF WIDESPREAD RAIN. THIS WOULD BE FOR SUNDAY MORNING. HEADING INTO THE AFTERNOON. EASTER.
