Ongoing storms across central KS are expected to move southeast and increase in coverage over the next couple of hours. The main hazards are damaging winds, large hail, and locally heavy rainfall. Stay weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
Showers and storms continue to be possible (30-50% chance) today into the overnight hours. While most storms are expected to remain sub-severe, the strongest storms could produce hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy downpours. Any severe threat will begin to diminish after dark, but rain and thunder may continue into the morning and early afternoon hours on Sunday.
Next week, northern Missouri is likely to see multiple rounds of rain and storms. Areas that see multiple rounds of rainfall will have a flooding risk.
