Severe threat today AND more flooding

Different day, but the headline remains the same. More severe weather chances and more flooding likely across Kansas. We are basically stuck with this weather pattern through Sunday, then changes should begin to take place.

Today (Thursday):

Scattered storms are already underway across western Kansas and more will develop this afternoon farther east into south central Kansas. A warm front will be coming out of Oklahoma into the afternoon, which will continue to set the stage for strong to severe storms over a big part of southern Kansas. Storms will move northeast with a hail/wind threat, but a tornado or two will be possible in an area east of Dodge City over to Wichita and south. I don't expect we will have a bunch of tornadoes today, but the threat isn't completely taken off the table. 

Of course the other concern is the already ongoing widespread flooding. Where is all of this additional water going to go? That's what bothers me with another 2 to 5 inches of rain coming to this area. 

Friday:

Storms will begin to calm down a bit with spotty rain and some thunder Friday morning AND again a few later Friday afternoon. I don't expect a great deal of severe weather Friday, but a few hail storms & some occasional wind will be possible.

Over the holiday weekend - storm chances will continue. However, most will happen late in the evening and into the overnight.

There is an end to this stormy weather: We are now expecting Memorial Day to be dry. And a cold front will sweep through on Tuesday to start sweeping much of this active weather out of the Plains. It will be nice to have more than just one day of sunshine.
