A Frost Advisory remains in effect until 9 AM for the majority of counties along and west of the Highway 281 corridor. Please refer to the Advisory statement for more details. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. On Tuesday, thunderstorm chances return to most of our area, particularly during the afternoon hours as a cold front sweeps through. Most counties mainly along and east of Highway 281 are currently under a Marginal Risk for severe storms, with a Slight Risk clipping a few far eastern counties along Highway 81. Should any storms develop within our area, they could become severe quickly, with the main threats being large hail to around golf ball size and wind gusts to at least 60 MPH, and maybe even a low chance for a tornado. That being said, the likelihood of storm development within our area is still in question, depending in part on how quickly or slowly this front passes. If it passes slower, our chances for possible severe storms could increase and maybe impact more of our area. However, if it moves through faster, it`s possible that storms could avoid our area altogether and instead develop slightly off to the east. Next, between Wednesday daytime and Thursday morning, overall- higher and more widespread thunderstorm chances arrive. Some of these storms could be severe, and nearly our entire area is under either a Marginal or Slight Risk for severe activity, with the greatest concern currently anticipated near and south of the Nebraska-Kansas border. Large hail, damaging winds and pockets of heavy rain/possible flooding would be the primary threats across most of our area, although a tornado threat could also exist especially in north central Kansas closer to a warm front. Please note that several details are still unclear. Finally, this weekend carries highly uncertain thunderstorm chances for various parts of our area. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings $$ Pfannkuch
