Day 1 Discussion ---------------- Another round of severe weather expected for Saturday afternoon and evening as the atmosphere looks to have ample time to recover from Friday's storms. The slight risk extends across much of the CWA east of a line along HWY 83 with the right ingredients to have similar impacts as before with large hail, destructive winds, and a few tornadoes possible, especially for eastern counties being the bullseye of impact for central and south central Kansas east of HWY 183. Any severe storms should exit the area to the east and northeast by 10PM CDT. Day 1 Hazards ------------- * Lightning: Limited risk * Severe thunderstorm: Limited risk .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. Days 2-7 Discussion ------------------- Multiple rounds of rain showers and thunderstorms will occur over the next week with Monday being the highlight for severe weather for the first impulse across the high plains. All forms of severe weather look to be possible to include a few tornadoes as the next system makes its way across the western United States into the Great Plain region. Flooding will also be a high concern for Monday and Tuesday as rain amounts look to reach 3-4 inches for counties east of HWY 183 and 1-3 inches for points westward. Moderate flooding risk is likely for these areas of 3-4 inches in the same parts that were recently impacted the past couple of weeks with not much expected to see a flash flood scenario to take place. Stay tuned for updates and possible watches and warning to be issued over the weekend for these first couple of days of the new work week. Days 2-7 Hazards ---------------- * Sunday - None * Monday - Lightning: Significant risk - Severe thunderstorm: Limited risk * Tuesday - Lightning: Limited risk * Wednesday - None * Thursday - Lightning: Limited risk * Friday - Lightning: Limited risk .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
