Overview
- The National Weather Service issued the watch Sunday night for much of the Kansas City metro, in effect until 4 a.m. Monday.
- Forecasters say heavy rain poses the main risk with pockets of flooding, while a few storms could produce gusty winds and small hail.
- Storms will be scattered and hit-and-miss rather than a single organized line, which makes exact impacts hard to pinpoint.
- Ongoing cells may linger into the morning commute, raising the chance of wet roads, ponding, and reduced visibility for drivers.
- Stronger storm chances shift east later Monday, and the metro should turn drier by midday with cooler air settling in through midweek.
