Let's hope all that 'odd phenomena' in an image by satellite is nothing more than thunderstorms.  It might be a wicked night.  I dearly hope not.

Weak tornadoes touch down near Kansas City, Mo.  (click here)

2 twisters lifted soon after touching down, setting off warning sirens; No immediate reports of injuries, damages

...Meteorologist Julie Adolphson says there were no immediate reports of injuries or significant damage resulting from the tornadoes reported in suburban Overland Park, Kan., and near Harrisonville, Mo., south of Kansas City.


Adolphson says the tornadoes at issue are short-lived and are considered at the weakest end of the rating scale. Such tornadoes don't pack winds greater than 75 mph, in many cases amounting to a swirling dust devil....

After such severe storms in the past few days, the troposphere over the country may have cooled enough to give us a break in the action.
