Today’s Video:

Good morning!  Wanted to show time-stamps of when the best storm threat moves through the area, from roughly 5pm through 1am from south-east Nebraska through central and eastern Kansas.  Potential for pockets of strong, locally damaging wind and hail with these. 

Total rain through Wednesday AM:

Overall Wednesday is shaping up to be a great day as high pressure builds in, reinforcing cooler/drier air into the area.  On Thursday, we’ll have a storm threat in southwest parts of the area, mainly in Kansas.  Many are still dry Thursday.  Increasing flow of moisture/warmth into area overnight Thursday into Friday supports a possible cluster of scattered storms in Kansas.  Friday will bring many dry hours with a wave departing eastern Kansas during the morning, before more numerous shower and storm activity builds in Friday night.  Overall, an active set-up from the weekend through next week, and the wet pattern shows no signs of letting down into early July.  Here are the latest 7-day rain numbers:
