Best chance for storms this week

Combines are rolling in many different areas, so the last thing we want now is a bunch of hail to ruin a ripe wheat crop. But our best chance for storms is on the way tonight and early Wednesday.

Yesterdays cold front is going to hang out over Kansas today and tonight, and may still be around yet Wednesday morning. So some of our best chances for rain will come between now and lunch time Wednesday.

Some hail and gusty winds (up to about 60 mph) will be possible over southern Kansas into the night. Storms should track east and there will be pockets of heavier rain, but by now, you know how this probably goes. Not everyone will get a good soaking.

Storms will begin across southwest and south central Kansas late into the evening. Storms may be scattered, but then should grow into more of a complex that will impact a big part of southern Kansas.

The front will still be around early Wednesday, so chances for rain may continue through Wednesday morning, but the afternoon dries out. AND... it's going to be much cooler too. Highs will be in the 80s for most of the state.
