Another warm and windy day is expected today with temperatures in the 70s and winds gusting 40 to 50 mph out of the south-southwest.
With the strong winds and dry conditions, very high to extreme fire weather danger will exist today. As such, we have a Wind Advisory in place from 7 AM to 6 PM today and a Red Flag Warning mainly to the west of us but that does clip extreme NW Missouri.
Tonight a cold front will move through the area bringing the chance for strong to isolated severe storms over eastern Kansas and western Missouri. The main threat with these storms will be the chance for large hail and damaging winds.
