8:48 p.m. | The National Weather Service of Kansas City is reminding drivers to beware of their surroundings as isolated storms in the area have the potential to drop "lots of rain," causing ponding on roads.

6:23 p.m. | Missouri counties Ray and Lafayette have been placed under a severe thunderstorm warning until 6:45 p.m. Sunday.

KSHB 41 meteorologist Wes Peery reports quarter-size hail is possible near Wellington and Lexington.

4:14 p.m. | A flash flood warning is in place for Missouri cities Bucklin and Brookfield until 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

1:13 p.m. | A flash flood warning is in effect until 3 p.m. Sunday for parts of Caldwell, Clinton, Clay and Ray counties in Missouri.

Just before 1 p.m., the National Weather Service of Kansas City issued the warning due to radar indicating thunderstorms possible of producing heavy rain.

Between 2-3 inches of rain have already fallen, and about 0.5-1 inch is still expected to fall, per NWS KC.

NWS advises residents to move to higher ground and avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
