This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of Central Kansas,
South Central Kansas and Southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated thunderstorms are possible tonight, mainly along and east
of a Salina to Lyons line. A strong storm with dime size hail and
gusty winds will be possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Tuesday, the winds will pick up and may approach advisory level
during the afternoon hours. Additionally, this wind will bring the
fire danger into the very high category along and west of I-135.

Wednesday there is a chance for some isolated showers and
thunderstorms along and east of I-35 during the afternoon and
evening. And storms that do develop are not expected to be strong
or severe.

Chances for showers and thunderstorms should gradually increase
from the west late week through the weekend and early next week.
Current indications suggest the potential for multiple rounds of
storms, with an accompanying risk of severe weather, heavy rain and
flooding. There remains quite a bit of uncertainty, so stay tuned.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated this afternoon or tonight.
