SUMMARY: Missouri’s roads are in decent condition post-snowstorm, according to ODOT District Maintenance Engineer Bob Becker. Major interstates have been cleared, but locals should exercise caution on exit ramps and lesser roads still affected by packed snow. Unlike last month’s storm—with icy conditions—this storm brought lighter, fluffier snow that is easier to manage. Becker advises motorists to stay off the roads a bit longer to allow maintenance crews to work effectively. As temperatures rise above freezing, roadway conditions are expected to improve throughout the day. Most schools have canceled classes as a precaution.

SUMMARY: Stormy weather looms for the region, with forecast uncertainty driven by shifting atmospheric systems. A fading rain complex may bring morning sprinkles, but the main concern is a new wave of storms forming in the Plains later today. These could produce 1–3 inches of rain overnight, especially if they stall or repeat over the same areas, increasing the risk of flooding. Winds may reach severe levels, as seen in overnight gusts of 101 mph in Kansas. Kansas City sits in a moderate risk zone for severe weather. Heaviest rain and storm impacts remain dependent on storm path and development tonight.

SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands. Despite FBI involvement, the case closed without indictments. Over 40 years later, with many witnesses deceased, the murder remains unsolved, and locals continue to keep the secret.

SUMMARY: Kansas City has yet to hit 90°F this year, though summer’s heat and humidity are building. A very moist atmosphere will fuel possible storms Tuesday into Wednesday, with flooding downpours the main concern. Models show varying rainfall totals and locations, with uncertainty about where storms will hit hardest. Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
