Storm Track 3 Forecast: Storms bring strong wind, hail, and tornadoes tonight
We are monitoring the potential for severe storms this evening. An Enhanced Risk is in place for a large portion of the Sunflower State, with all forms of severe weather possible.
Temperatures will climb this afternoon ahead of the approaching boundary with highs in the 70s and 80s.
Strong southerly winds will help to pull in this warmth and also to pull moisture into the region. Wind Advisories are in place through 1 AM as gusts up to 50 MPH are possible.
Warm and windy conditions also lead to fire weather concerns. Fire Weather Warnings are in place for western Kansas through 10 PM tonight.
Storms will begin to bubble up after 6 PM this evening as the approaching cold front collides with the warm, unstable airmass over central Kansas. We will also be watching for the development of supercell thunderstorms out ahead of the main line. Any supercell that forms will have the potential to produce damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes.
Activity will then unzip along the cold front with a strong line of storms quickly tracking east. This will bring strong straight line winds to the region with pockets of heavy rain and hail. A spin up tornado or two along this line will also be possible.
Storms will finally exit the region early Wednesday morning. We have a brief moment of calm weather on Wednesday before an unsettled pattern arrives for the second half of the week.
This round of rainfall will bring beneficial, widespread moisture to the region. Showers will return on Thursday with daily rain chances through the weekend.

Hot and dry weather this weekend
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Rain ends, sun breaks out Saturday afternoon
We have a rainy start to Saturday as a cold front and low pressure system works through the region, but have no fear! The weekend does not look like a wash out! By afternoon our winds will begin to shift to the Northwest allowing for dry air to filter in from the west leaving us with a partly sunny finish to the day. There could be an isolated spot shower or two working southeast during the afternoon, otherwise temperatures climb to the middle and upper 70's. We are watching for some additional wildfire smoke to pass through the region, especially close to the ground, leaving to unhealthy air quality especially in the counties highlighted in gray! Sunday features partly to mostly sunny skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 70's Have a great weekend! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
