Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of a cold front late this afternoon across areas along and west of a line from Ord to Phillipsburg. These thunderstorms could become severe with large hail near 1 inch in diameter, damaging wind gusts near 60 MPH, and isolated tornadoes all possible. By this evening, thunderstorms should congeal into a line and move east and southeast through the remainder of the forecast area. Large hail and damaging winds will remain a concern through about 11PM. Localized areas of heavy rain are also possible, which could lead to mainly minor, short term flooding issues, particularly in areas that have seen recent heavy rainfall. Lingering weak thunderstorms will remain possible along and south of the state line through the remainder of the overnight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. During the day Friday, small chances for thunderstorms continue mainly south of the Nebraska-Kansas border, but most of the outlook area should be storm-free. Then Friday evening into Saturday morning, at least small chances for storms expand northward to include the entire outlook area, but with the highest chances favoring north central Kansas, where another round of locally heavy rain and perhaps a few strong storms could occur. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed, mainly between 4PM and 11PM. Any reports of large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain are greatly appreciated. && More information may be obtained at the following web page: https://www.weather.gov/hastings Thies
