What We’re Tracking

Severe storms this evening

Still windy on Sunday

More active weather pattern for next week

Through this evening, we are watching a line of severe thunderstorms to make their way through the area. The main threat with these will be damaging wind considering we were already seeing wind gusts just below the severe level. These thunderstorms will push us over that edge with wind gusts up to 70 mph. The storms move out of the area by just before midnight tonight.

Once that line of storms moves through, we’ll clear out for Sunday, but we’ll still be windy. Highs should make it up to near 70°, and winds will be gusting to around 30-40mph before relaxing Sunday night into Monday.

As of right now, we may end up with some scattered cloud cover across Northeast Kansas for the solar eclipse on Monday before yet another system moves in. That should bring another slight chance for showers and storms on Wednesday.
