Severe weather UPDATE

Thanks for stopping by and reading the latest on severe weather chances for late in the week. This will be a little short today as I have several things happening and not as much time to write as I normally would like.

Friday Chances:
Still looks like a late evening severe chances exists for western Kansas. These storms, if they do develop, will be pretty isolated. So it should be a one here, one there kind of setup, BUT... if some storms can get going, they could be pretty strong.

Saturday:
We will definitely have storms on Saturday, but what complicates the entire setup revolves around morning rain/thunder. So we may not know very much until about 24 hours ahead of time where the strongest storms may develop. If you look at our Future Track at 4 p.m., there is a good chance for some storms over central and eastern Kansas. HOWEVER... we just don't know how strong they will be yet because so many other factors come into play during this time.

Early next week:
I am still concerned that we will have severe weather to begin next week. Monday, and maybe Tuesday too, will have strong storms in our area. There's so much wind (in the upper atmosphere) coming from the southwest that will help to energize storms throughout the Plains. So we will have several busy days ahead for Kansas and surrounding areas.

AND... WE CAN'T OVERLOOK FLOODING!!

Forecast models give generous amounts of rain to the area between Friday and the beginning of next week. Many areas could be getting 2-3 (maybe more) inches of rain. This will lead to problems.
