Some blowing dust is possible. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY... There is a Marginal to Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms from late Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon along and south of a Norton to Leoti line in northwest Kansas as a cold front moves through. A few storms may be capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. Heavy rainfall and flash flooding will be possible Tuesday night. The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur along and south of a Norton to Tribune line in northwest Kansas, but heavy rainfall cannot be ruled in the remainder of northwest Kansas and southwest Nebraska as well. Lowest rainfall amounts will be in northeast Colorado. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.
