56 here. Would think it’s a nice day but everything’s dying and wilting in the sun since we’re getting close to 60 out there.

5th windy day in a row

I’m sure the broader pattern is looking drier than normal though on the ensembles. Maybe the torch fest will start early this year

Please stay in your lane and tell us it will be warm and dry.

Meso discussion for KC area. It's warm and humid here conditions seem favorable for some tornadoes in the area. The warm front to my north will set-up the best action I think. 0341 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0126 PM CDT Fri Apr 03 2026 Areas affected...Parts of central/eastern KS...western/northern MO...extreme southeast NE...southern IA...western IL Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 031826Z - 032030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Strong to severe storm development is expected this afternoon. Watch issuance is likely. DISCUSSION...Isolated storm development is underway early this afternoon in the vicinity of a cold front across east-central/northeast KS. With mid 60s F dewpoints and temperatures rising through the 70s F, MLCINH has largely been removed along/east of the cold front and along/south of a northward-moving warm front draped from northeast KS into northern MO and west-central IL. Storm coverage is expected to increase through the afternoon, as a vigorous mid/upper-level shortwave trough moves across the Great Plains. Moderate to strong buoyancy (MLCAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg) and effective shear of 40-50 kt will support organized convection. Storm development near the cold front may initially evolve into supercells, with an attendant tornado and large hail threat. An eventual tendency toward a cluster or linear mode (accompanied by increasing damaging-wind potential) may occur along the cold front, due to increasing storm coverage and interaction. A separate area of supercell potential may evolve along the warm front from northern MO into west-central IL. Any surface-based supercell that can persist near the warm-frontal zone could pose a tornado threat, in addition to large hail and localized damaging-wind potential. Issuance of one or more watches is likely this afternoon, in response to the threats described above.
