Spotty severe storm today as it stays hazy, hot, humid
Happy Thursday! We're almost to Friday, and like a broken record, we're turning active again. Our late week forecast will feature a one-two punch of strong to severe storms, and it all begins today. This morning, it's warm and muggy with hazy sunshine and dissipating dense fog. No need to bundle up for readings that are starting off in the 60s/70s. However, please take it easy in those areas of lower visibility and be mindful of today's 'Moderate' Air Quality Index. Highs will scoot back into the upper 70s to middle 80s. Dew point temperatures will rise into the mid 60s and south winds will become a bit more blustery as a cold front arrives this afternoon. Those weather ingredients will help to stir up a marginal risk for isolated severe storms. Any one storm will present with torrential downpours, strong winds, and the potential for small hail. That storm threat will diminish after sunset with a leftover shower past midnight. Lows will dip into the 60s. We're close to 80 again by Friday afternoon. However, our cold front from today will start to stall out in southern New England. That stalled boundary will help to initiate another marginal risk for severe storms from central to southern Vermont and the Upper Valley. Once that first round of active weather passes through, a more consolidated low pressure system will impact the North Country and Upper Valley for Saturday. Saturday is not a complete wash of a day, but it will feature periods of rain and embedded downpours. Near seasonable high temperatures in the lower to middle 70s are expected Saturday and even Sunday as the showers start to wind down. Stay safe, dry, and weather aware over the next 72 hours, friends! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Flash flood warnings remain for southern Utah as storms push into central Utah
SALT LAKE CITY () – Happy Thursday, Utah! Today will be another active one in the south while northern Utah stays quiet. A low-pressure system off the coast of California continues throwing our way, digging deeper into the state and bringing more thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain to southern and central Utah. The bottom line? The flash flood risk continues in southern Utah, and storms push further into central Utah today. The weather warms up and dries out by the weekend. There is a flash flood threat for parts of southern Utah, especially in slot canyons, normally dry washes, streams, creeks, and underpasses. If you're planning on heading out to any of our outdoor recreation areas, it would be best to reschedule if possible. Wet weather could make it as far north as Utah County and the Uinta Mountains, but the bulk of the precipitation will stay around and south I-70. Meanwhile, the Wasatch Front is looking at a mix of sun and clouds with dry skies. Temperatures won't stray too far from where they were yesterday, but northern Utah looks to warm slightly while the south shaves off a couple of degrees. That'll spell daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s in the north, low to mid 70s in the south, and 80s for the typically warm spots. On Friday, that moisture will push in further to include northern Utah in the fun, but by then it will have lost most of its steam, so thunderstorms become more isolated in nature and won't dump as much heavy precipitation. As the moisture content goes down, we'll see our temperatures going up. Highs return to the mid-80s for most and mid-90s for warm spots to close out the workweek, but the weekend is forecasted to bring 90s and 100s back to the Beehive State! Stay weather-aware, especially if you're in southern and central Utah today. We'll keep you posted on the latest developments in our 4Warn Weather forecast, both on-air and online, we are Good4Utah!

El Dorado residents picking up the pieces following Tuesday's flash floods
EL DORADO, Kan. (KSNW) – Heavy rain across south central Kansas on Tuesday sent some rivers and creeks out of their banks and into homes. In El Dorado, flash floods turned roads into rivers, and around 50 El Dorado residents into evacuees. Hunter Genter had to wade through chest-high waters to reach the boat he used to evacuate himself and his two dogs. 'Walked down the road in about water up to here. Came in here, got my little boat, loaded up the dogs and had to walk them back up inside the boat,' Genter said. The shed near his house took on around 10 inches of water, still visible on the sheet rock the next day. He estimates the damages at around $1,000. Sedgwick County Zoo welcomes third baby elephant While Genter's house was spared, others, like Richard and Cecilia Ralls weren't so lucky. 'When you walk in there, and you see some things are destroyed, you know, whatever, especially the photographs, you can't replace those,' Richard said. 'You go into, do I dare say, survival mode? I mean, it's because you've got to do something, you've got to save whatever you can save.' In the rush to escape the rapidly rising waters, they pulled out what they could. With so many possessions and scattered memories left out to dry, the things weren't really what mattered to them. 'It's only stuff. The pets, the people, that's what you've got to worry about,' he said. They anticipate a few more days of cleanup before things return to normal. For more Kansas news, click here.
