Severe threat tonight

Good afternoon. We have a chance for some strong to severe storms as we head into the late evening/overnight hours. It's looking like most of the state will see rain and storms, and given the timing, it looks like it will be right in the middle of the night. So, could be a sleepless night in many parts of the state. Oh boy.

Severe Threats:
This is looking to mostly be a wind and heavy rainfall situation. I don't think very many of the Kansas storms will have large hail, but if there is going to be a threat for hail, it will likely be in far western and northern Kansas. Wind gusts up to 60 mph look likely with stronger storms. And once the storms get going, they will generally push to the east and then turn to the southeast.

Timing:

The storms look to start in eastern Colorado and then will drift into western Kansas. We may also see some storms coming from Nebraska too. But this isn't going to happen until closer to dark.

Later into the night, storms will be pushing toward central Kansas with some pockets of heavy rainfall and some wind.

As dawn approaches Thursday, that's when storms may get to south central and parts of eastern Kansas. They won't be severe at this time, but some heavy downpours are possible from time to time.
