That is the question right now...whether or not we'll see more rain/storms develop this afternoon.  There are several factors coming into play that could determine if we see any more rain later today and into the evening.  I personally think we'll see more rain/storms develop later today and into the evening hours...come to an end sometime around midnight, or shortly thereafter...then possibly see some redevelopment of rain/storms tomorrow.  First off, several boundaries are in place...some from this mornings rain, one from the actual front, and lastly, the MCV moving through Nebraska.  All of these will be areas to watch for initiation of rain/storms this afternoon(and in some cases, where rain/storms are ongoing)

The scattered rain/storms should continue overnight and tomorrow's rain will depend on how far south the front makes it as well as the placement of leftover boundaries again tomorrow.  I think the best chance for rain on Thursday during the afternoon hours will be across southern parts of the viewing area and not necessarily in the KC metro. 

We are also under a slight risk for severe weather for the remainder of today.  Any storms that do develop this evening could reach strong to severe limits.  The main threat with these storms will be hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall.  This morning some locations picked up 1-2" of rain, which does not help the flooding situation.  Flash Flood watches are posted for the potential for heavy rain tonight and tomrorow(this does include the KC metro).

Going into Friday we'll see temperatures below average, but I do think the weather will be dry for your Fourth of July cookouts and fireworks.

Have a great rest of your Wednesday!
