***** Original Story *****

 

A few strong storms are possible this morning through afternoon across southeast Kansas, with a second round of storms expected to re-develop this evening across the four-state area.

 

This second round will have a greater risk for severe weather, with large hail, damaging winds and locally heavy rainfall possible, plus the chance for a strong tornado.

 

Storm timing for southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma is expected after 8 p.m., with the entire four-state area in the “enhanced” risk of severe weather, which is a three our of five threat level.

 

KGGF will provide severe weather coverage this evening if needed.
