Severe Weather Outlooks: Monday & Tuesday

5 Day Forecast

A few strong to severe storms will return to at least a portion of the area both Monday and Tuesday evening to night. Generally, the better overall severe potential will fall Monday night as damaging wind gusts could be near 70MPH with large hail and an isolated tornado possible. More uncertainty Tuesday keeps details limited for now. A marginal risk of severe weather (level 1 of 5) remains in place across the full area for both nights.

We will be warming up with highs in the 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday, perhaps even a few 100 degree temperatures across north central Kansas. There will be a slight cool down back into the 80s as we end the week behind a cold front. The best chance for rain currently appears to be Monday evening into Monday night when there could be a few severe thunderstorms tracking across the outlook area.
