Thanks for being patient with us last night as we tracked the storms across Kansas. We ended up with just under a dozen tornado reports from southwest into south central Kansas. Basically, the evening unfolded like we thought it would. The only thing that was a little surprising was to see how far west some of the storms developed. The good news is that there wasn't much damage around the area, but the bad news, we also didn't get a lot of rain. The storms were just isolated enough that the heavier downpours were fairly spotty. 

The severe weather moves east for Thursday and Friday. Our weather in Kansas will settle down now for a few days. Chances for storms will increase once again over the weekend. Severe threat looks very low on Saturday, but should increase some on Sunday. Main threat with bigger storms Sunday looks to be some hail and gusty winds. We will be watching it of course. Have a great day.
