Severe Storm Risk Today(KCTV)
The first round of storms have brought hail, 75 mph wind and heavy rain to parts of the area.
The second round began about 3 p.m. and will last until about 7 p.m. Storms formed into a line as they move into the western Kansas counties and travel east throughout the area. All modes of severe weather will be possible this batch, but more likely damaging winds, hail, and heavy rainfall. Tornadoes will remain possible but will not be as big of a threat as earlier in the afternoon.
The next potential batch moves across the area between 8 p.m. and midnight. It’ll move from west to east. Please make sure to have several ways to receive alerts and know where your safe place is in public areas.
Scattered rain and storms will be possible overnight. Some of these storms may be strong to severe, but overall severe weather threat will decrease through the night. We should be wrapped up with rain, storms, and severe weather potential by Tuesday morning around 8 a.m.
When it’s all said and done, heavy rainfall will be widespread 1″ to 3″, and isolated areas of 4″ will be possible. That is the cause for some concern about flash flooding and localized flooding. We may see a rise in creeks, rivers, streams.
TUESDAY: Once rain and storm activity exits on Tuesday, it’s a cool day. We only have high temperatures in the upper 60s.
MIDWEEK: Wednesday and Thursday, we struggle to reach the mid-60s, but we will see the sun.
WEEKEND: Friday through Sunday brings spotty rain chances and temperatures back in the low to mid-70s.
