Kyle Palmer  - Daily Planner

Your daily planner: Friday, June 10

More than 24 hours after a tornado touched down, a fallen tree still lay toppled over at the intersection near 95th and Metcalf in Overland Park on Thursday. Photo credit Juliana Garcia.

Say it with me, Johnson County: it’s the weekend! Or almost. Kyle here with what this Friday looks like in our lovely berg.

Forecast: ☁️ High: 79, Low: 61. A lingering chance for more thunderstorms this morning, mostly before 10 a.m., and then mostly cloudy the rest of the day. Calm and party cloudy tonight. 

Hi! I'm Kyle Palmer and I'm the editor of the Shawnee Mission Post and Blue Valley Post.

Prior to joining the Post in 2020, I served as News Director for KCUR. I got my start in journalism at the University of Missouri, where I worked for KBIA, mid-Missouri's NPR affiliate. After college, I spent 10 years as a teacher and went on to get a master's degree in education policy from Stanford University.

I believe deeply in the power of local news and strive each day to make our readers feel informed, so they can get the most out of life in this great place we all call home.
