Thursday/Friday rain chance: not very heavy and most of it will be focused to the east. It will be southeast Kansas that probably gets the 1 inch totals (down near Coffeyville)
A very mild/warm weekend awaits:
As the pattern shifts, you will see a HUGE warm up by Sunday afternoon. There will be some locations hitting 80, and if you don't get there Sunday, it comes Monday.
Severe potential is still there for Tuesday:
A fairly potent low pressure will track from the southwest into the Plains for Tuesday. The upper level winds will likely exceed 100 mph with very high humidity focused over central and eastern Kansas. It is a fairly classic spring setup, but it doesn't guarantee a tornado outbreak. You will probably see a lot of chatter about this on your Facebook and Twitter feeds, but until we are a few days out, there will still be lots of questions. In some ways, it's like predicting winter storms. Many, many things can change that result in a different outcome. Be sure to check in with our group all the way through the weekend as we continue to watch. Timing looks like Tuesday evening (after 6pm) for storms in Kansas.
Another setup may be showing up in just over a week: Another big low pressure may kick out of the west around May 2nd to bring severe weather chances back to the region. Be looking for updates on that very soon.
Don't miss our Andover tornado 30 year anniversary segments coming up Monday. We have several different angles to cover with respect to what happened with the storm, those that went through it, and how the warning process is different now vs back in 1991.
