Easter Weekend:

Easter weekend looks really nice for most of the weekend. We will have another cold front entering the state on Easter Sunday. Most of the day looks dry with clouds rolling in throughout the day. However, right at the end of the weekend, we are looking for some rain (and thunder too) that should develop over Kansas. Our forecast models are suggesting chances will increase around dark, with the best chances happening in central and eastern Kansas. It's unlikely these storms will be severe - so large hail and strong winds probably NOT going to happen with this next round.

Another storm chance early next week:

The same front that enters Kansas on Easter will still be around on Monday. So we will likely see some more rain in the area to start next week. Although there may be a few strong storms nearby, large hail and wind aren't huge threats at this time.

Have a great Easter weekend!!
