A First Alert Weather Day is in place across the Kansas City metro for Friday, with a higher chance of widespread thunderstorms and the potential for severe weather. The primary concern is damaging wind, with gusts reaching up to 70 mph. Storms may initially develop as isolated cells ahead of a larger line, which could lead to rotation leading to potential tornadoes. The most likely time of severe weather is between 2 p.m. and 8pm, with the most active window expected to occur. The entire viewing area is under at least a medium risk for severe conditions. The weather system is expected to return to the scene as this system moves out of the system.
