Storm Track 3 Forecast: All forms of severe weather possible Tuesday evening
After a mild Monday, storm chances will increase tomorrow. An Enhanced Risk for severe weather is in place for parts of central and eastern Kansas. The rest of the region will be under Slight Risk. All forms of severe weather will be possible.
Temperatures will warm ahead of the approaching boundary. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s for most of the region as strong southerly winds help pull warmer air into the Sunflower State. Northwest Kansas will be the coolest with highs in the upper 60s and low 70s as they will be the first to see the front pass overhead.
Fire Weather Watches and Warnings are in place for a large part of western Kansas from 10 AM through 10 PM Tuesday. With strong winds, dry conditions, and warm temperatures, it will not take much for any spark that starts to get out of control.
Winds out of the south will be strong tomorrow. Widespread wind gusts from 40 to 50 MPH will be possible throughout the day.
Wind Advisories are in place for most of central Kansas from 10 AM Tuesday through 1 AM Wednesday as gusty conditions follow us through the overnight.
Southerly flow will also be working to bring moisture into the state. Moisture will be a key factor in our severe weather potential. As the front collides with the warm, moist, unstable airmass over central Kansas, storms will be able to form and quickly strengthen as they have all the fuel they will need to produce severe weather.
We can expect to see rumbles of thunder begin to initiate after 6 PM. There will be two areas to watch, along the front itself and out ahead of the boundary. The isolated storms that will form out ahead of the main line will have the greatest potential of producing tornadoes. These storms will not have to compete for energy with any other storms and can quickly become supercells.
All forms of severe weather will be possible tomorrow as storms track through the state. Winds over 70 MPH, tennis ball sized hail, and tornadoes will all be concerns. Now is the time to go over your severe weather plan and be prepared in the event of severe weather in your area tomorrow evening.
The front will quickly track east during the late evening. Storms will form a line along the boundary, and straight line winds will become the primary concern. We could still see a spin up tornado or two along the leading line of storms. The good news is that the strong winds will propel the storms quickly out of the Sunflower State by early Wednesday morning.
We dry out on Wednesday before an unsettled pattern arrives for the last half of the workweek. Better chances of widespread, beneficial rainfall will arrive for the upcoming weekend.

Storms move in tonight, drying out tomorrow afternoon
Storms late tonight Clearing out tomorrow Weekend warmup ahead Clouds increase throughout the evening as rain chances ramp up with some isolated showers and storms expected to develop throughout the early morning. Most of the rain looks to mainly impact those along and south of I-70. These storms are expected to remain non-severe as they pass through. Saturday will start off wet, but we'll dry out by the afternoon as cloud cover and rain chances decrease as the day goes on. Temperatures will still remain below average, but sightly warmer in spots than the past few days. Temperatures will rebound into the low 80s towards the end of the weekend, putting us near average for early June. Looking ahead, next week brings a stretch of dry and sunny weather.

Storm's over, but Wichita's still dealing with the mess
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A day after torrential rains swamped parts of Wichita, the city is still drying out—and cleaning up. Flooded roads, swamped basements, and closed parks are just some of the problems left behind. At one of the worst-hit intersections, 1st and Bleckley, a woman had to be rescued from her car as water rose around her. KSN spoke with Stacy Miller, the daughter of the woman who was saved. Rose Hill man denies charges in girl's death Stacy Miller says her 80-year-old mom ended up in the floodwaters while trying to get back home from a doctor's appointment. She says she got a call from her sister that their mom was in neck-deep water, which is when she immediately hung up the phone and ran into her car. She says she was horrified. 'I just wanted to go and grab her and get her to go with me, and obviously, no one would let me do that,' Miller said. 'I understand, but your mind doesn't think that way when you see someone.' She said it felt almost like an out-of-body experience. She's grateful her mom didn't get hurt, and grateful for help from neighbors. The rain flooded more than the roads. Many basements are still dealing with standing water. One foundation repair expert says he typically gets one or two calls a day. Now, he's getting 10. 'When the soils saturate around here they swell, and then they cause these pressures, and you get cracks, and the more rain, the more pressure, the more the cracks will widen,' said Nick Trotter, owner of Chief Cornerstone Foundation. He says water leaking into a basement can be a sign of cracks in the foundation. Those can cause a house to start to collapse or sink into the ground. The flooding around Wichita forced the closure of some playgrounds. Fabrique and Sleepy Hollow parks, as well as Clapp Dog Park, are all closed. The Park and Recreation director for the city says they are trying to get parks open as soon as possible, but some things need to be replaced. 'What's more so is water getting under some surfaces, and some chips were flooding out,' said Reggie Davidson, Park and Recreation director for the City of Wichita. 'We want to make sure it's safe.' He says timing depends on how long it takes to get supplies. He adds the department is moving as fast as they can. He says Park and Recreation inspected playgrounds before closing them. They'll replace the components, then inspect the parks again before reopening. For more Kansas news, click here.
