***** Origianl Story *****

 

Severe weather is possible this weekend for the four-state area.

 

For Saturday, the best chances for severe weather will be south of Tulsa, with all modes of severe weather possible. Much of the KGGF listening area, including southeast Kansas, has at least a “slight” risk of severe weather. The strongest storms are mainly possible between 4 p.m. and midnight, with timing expected a little later for northeast Oklahoma.

 

For Sunday, there is a greater chance of severe weather for Kansas, although the forecast remains highly dependent on the timing of the weather and the condition of the atmosphere tomorrow afternoon. Storms are expected to develop over western Kansas and track northeast, with timing mainly expected after dark. Stay tuned to KGGF for additional updates and severe weather coverage if needed.
