Severe weather update - Monday

Hope you had a terrific weekend. We had some beautiful weather, but the wind started to interfere Sunday afternoon. It's those stronger winds that are responsible for pumping the higher humidity right up into Kansas.

Today (Monday):
There is a slight chance for just a couple of storms early this evening (mainly west of a line from Hays to Pratt) There are plenty of ingredients working against the chance for storms, so what does develop is probably not going to survive more than 3 or 4 hours after sunset.

Tuesday:
Another threat of some strong to severe storms will return Tuesday evening, mainly north of I-70. A very SLOW moving front will be in northern Kansas and this should help to get a few storms going during the evening. Once the storms get going, they should move east or northeast. A couple of storms may develop south of I-70, but those will be few and far between. Timing: storms after 4 or 5 p.m.

Wednesday:
This is the day that will most likely have the strongest chance of threatening weather. More ingredients are coming together and after 3 or 4 p.m., storms should begin to flare up. Where the humidity is highest (over central and eastern Kansas - east of a Russell to Pratt line), hail, high winds, and a tornado or two look possible. Another area that will have our attention is along the warm front in northern Kansas and into Nebraska. It's a complex setup, but we definitely anticipate some rough weather getting into the early evening hours around Kansas.
