There will be an increase in scattered showers and storms through this evening. A convoy of moisture will line up from our northwest counties to the southeast towards Wichita. A Tornado Watch is in effect until 10 PM Wednesday for several of our counties in Western Kansas into the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Enough sunshine has peeked through the grungy clouds to the west, triggering isolated to severe thunderstorms this evening.
The Slight Risk has been expanded over Kansas for extremely large hail and damaging winds along with the tornado threat.
A warm front will lift into the state with an approaching low pressure system to help drive any severe weather into the overnight.
With time, storms will cluster together into a complex of heavy rain overnight. A damaging wind threat will need to be monitored for the leading edge of this activity tonight.
This complex will not divide the rain equally. Some will not get much. Others could gain more than an inch or two of beneficial moisture.
Overnight lows will dip to the 50s with some near 60 degrees to the southeast.
The bulk of the rain exits to the east early Thursday morning.
Daytime heating may help enhance a random shower or storm Thursday afternoon around the backside of this system from central into eastern Kansas. By sundown, this system will be history.
Highs Thursday afternoon will still be well below average for this time of year in the 60s and lower 70s. Clouds will generally thin by Thursday evening.
Temperatures take a drive through the 70s with more sunshine on Friday. A quick-moving disturbance over the weekend will be capable of producing another batch of showers and storms late Saturday afternoon into the early overnight.
Sunday should be a really nice day in the 80s. Next week looks active with one round after another of storms and severe weather. Monday favors Western Kansas with storms tracking eastward into Tuesday. The pattern will be repeated from mid to late next week. Rainfall will be heavy at times and accumulation potential looks high for many Kansans through the end of next week.
