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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A few strong to severe storms with quarter size hail and wind gusts
to 60 mph are possible over central Kansas through mid morning.

West winds sustained around 30 mph, with gusts around 45 mph are
expected over most of the area today. Check the latest wind
advisory for details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Isolated storms are possible Thursday morning along a warm front
that will extend across South Central and Southeast Kansas. The
main threat will be nickel to quarter sized hail.

The bigger threat will occur late Thursday afternoon or more likely
Thursday evening as severe storms in Western Kansas move into the
area. Golfball hail, 60 to 70 mph winds, a few potentially strong
tornadoes are all possible, especially over a small part of South
Central Kansas. The timing and location of the higher threat storms
may change. Storm intensity will decrease but coverage will
increase overnight. This will decrease the threat of severe
weather,
but increase the threat of flooding, especially south of Highway
50.

Strong storms are likely and few severe storms are possible Friday
afternoon and evening. Locally heavy rain is also likely, with an
increased threat of both short term flooding and river flooding,
especially east of I-35. This threat of river flooding would
persist
into the weekend.

More storms are possible Monday and Tuesday, with at least strong
storms possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated today or tonight.
