A few severe storms tonight

After a couple of very busy days with severe weather, the threat is much lower today. However, we still have a chance for some strong storms to clip parts of the state. Biggest threat will likely be some gusty winds and lightning as storms move in.

Outlook area:
Storms will begin in eastern Colorado and far western Kansas. Once the storms develop, they should move east. Storms that have the best chance of surviving after dark will be those in southern Kansas. What develops in northwest Kansas should fade away.
Storms should be moving into south central Kansas around 11 p.m. Those storms are not expected to be severe.

Tuesday tornado near Ensign was quite spectacular. Luckily, the storm ran into other rain and storms just southwest of Dodge City. That was likely the end of the tornado. We did have another report of a tornado southeast of Dodge City, but there was never any confirmation of that. Other storms tried to produce tornadoes, but didn't have any luck.

The picture from Dustin Hessman was one of the best photos of the night. As far as we know, the tornado didn't hit any structures.
