Today (Friday): Storms will redevelop right over south central and eastern Kansas. If you are traveling the turnpike today or this evening, be prepared for some hail and heavy downpours. Our Future Track model is giving the highest storm chances to the 3-11 pm time frame. Severe chances will rapidly decrease after 8 or 9 p.m.
Saturday:
Storms will fire up early evening across southwest Kansas and then begin moving east. I think it's safe to plan something outside for the afternoon and maybe early evening, but then we will have to be on guard for more storms/heavy rain. Given the setup, I think it's mainly going to be some strong winds/some hail kind of setup (Strongest storms should remain south of I-70). And of course because everyone is so water logged, flooding rains has to be right up close to the top of threats as well.
Sunday:
A few early morning showers will be drying up in eastern Kansas, but then another round of storms will come at us from the west. It should start after 4 pm in western Kansas and then move east/northeast. Once again, it looks like a large hail/wind threat heading into the evening.
Next week - drying out!!
That's right - Memorial Day looks dry and windy for much of the area. And although Tuesday will have a chance for some storms, almost all of it should be tracking east of our area. The Flint Hills and areas east will have the highest storm chances. But we finally get a shift in the weather pattern that will allow for more dry days than rainy ones. There could be another low pressure system tracking this way at the end of the week, but if it does happen, it should be a fast moving one and not something that hangs around for days and days. Can you imagine how it will feel to have 3 or 4 sunny days in a row?
