Update: KC Enhanced Today Leads Multi-Day Slight Risks into OK, MO, and Mid-Atlantic — SevereWX

We've been tracking today's severe thunderstorms across Minnesota and Wisconsin, where watches and warnings were active earlier. As that action shifts south, the Storm Prediction Center's latest outlook ramps up the threat further.

For this afternoon and evening—Wednesday, June 10—an Enhanced Risk now covers the Kansas City, Missouri, metro, with a Slight Risk extending to Wichita, Kansas. An Enhanced Risk signals high odds for scattered severe thunderstorms capable of large hail (up to golf ball size or bigger), damaging wind gusts over 60 mph, and isolated tornadoes. Slight Risk areas could see more isolated instances of these hazards.

The action continues Thursday, June 11, as Slight Risks take aim at Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and Moore in Oklahoma, plus Joplin, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Springfield in Missouri. Expect potential for isolated severe gusts, hail, and a spin-up tornado or two amid any storms that develop.

Friday, June 12, brings Slight Risks farther east across Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, where clashing air masses could spark isolated severe thunderstorms.

These risks highlight a persistent pattern fueling storms across the central U.S. into the East. Monitor your local National Weather Service office closely, especially if you're in these areas. Review your severe weather plan: know where to shelter, have multiple alerts sources, and stay weather-aware.
