5-2-18 Central Plains Forecast: More severe storm/heavy rain threats through Thursday night….calmer into the weekend. N.

Video (6 min):

Moderate risk for severe weather in portions of northeast Kansas, northwest Missouri, far southwest Iowa, and far southeast Nebraska.  Storms will initially develop 1-3pm CDT across central Kansas.  They initially develop as supercells, so this is where the highest tornado potential will be, with a few strong tornadoes possible.  As the storms progress further north and east, they evolve into more of a thunderstorm complex, with a greater concern shifting to a widespread damaging wind threat.  

More severe storms possible on Thursday:

Forecast radar from noon today to 5am CDT Thursday.  Watch the video for more information.

Total rainfall idea over the next 50 hours: Similar to last night, watch for areas of locally excessive rain….Many areas across Iowa still in play for a 1-3″ final total…but remember totals will be quite variable from one location to another.
