Additional supercell severe storms will be possible early this evening before becoming more of a line of storms as they move across central and south central Kansas during the mid to late evening. These storms will still be capable of destructive winds greater than 80 mph, large hail to at least golf ball size and a tornado. Strong to marginally severe storms will remain possible to a little after midnight as they move east from the Flint Hills into parts of southeast Kansas. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday Thunderstorm development appears unlikely Monday afternoon and evening across much of the region. However, if a storm or two is able to form, the environment will support severe weather. Additional chances for severe storms exist over eastern Kansas Tuesday afternoon and evening. Large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are possible. Stay tuned for later outlooks. Periodic thunderstorm chances remain in the forecast Thursday through early next week. Stay tuned as we continue to refine the potential for severe weather. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
