STORM PREDICTION CENTER OUTLOOK

SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS TNT
GREATEST THREAT FOR DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS

GREATEST THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL


TORNADO THREAT

TRACKING THE STORMS

Discrete cells across Kansas continue to show signs of rotation and have spawned a tornado or two today. These cells are tracking northeastward, however, the entire cluster is gradually sliding east. The greatest threat for large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes tonight will be across eastern Kansas and the northwestern portion of the Ozarks. If you live in a line from Nevada to Warsaw and points northwestward, you are in an area where the potential for severe storms is the greatest. Overall, the threat for tornadoes is low tonight but can't be ruled out.
