Scattered showers and storms are making their way into the Kansas City metro Thursday morning as the National Weather Service monitors stronger storms later in the day. The morning storms will not be severe, but are expected to produce scattered showers across eastern Kansas and Western Missouri, the weather service said on X.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast across parts of the central United States as a summer-like pattern continues to deliver hot temperatures and scattered severe weather.

Severe storms continue to push through the metro on Saturday morning, with some areas even experiencing hail. Hail has remained mostly to the south and southwest, however the size of hail continues to decrease as the morning unfolds.
