Severe weather is possible this afternoon and evening across the four-state area.

 

Potential hazards include 60 to 70 mph winds, ping-pong ball size hail and a few brief tornadoes. Timing is expected between 4 p.m. and midnight.

 

The entire four-state area is in the “slight” level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather, with the greatest risk of a brief tornado in southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma that now includes areas along the state line east to Missouri.

 

Flooding remains the primary concern with flash flood warnings issued this morning in northeast Oklahoma and a flood watch continues through Friday morning for southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma, southwest Missouri and portions of northwest Arkansas.

 

So far, the month-to-date rain measured at KGGF in Coffeyville is 8.02”.
