Today’s video:
Observed rainfall over the past 24 hours…pretty much a dry day with a few isolated storms to the west:
Most of today is quiet regarding rainfall chances…scattered storms start to pop across west-central Kansas late afternoon into the evening. We will need to watch the central slice of Nebraska for a potent storm cluster into early Wednesday morning moving west to east, as well as additional slow moving strong storms across NE Kansas throughout the overnight tonight:
Some of these storms along this storm cluster will pose a risk for damaging winds over 50mph and large hail as well noted in the yellow areas for the elevated risk:
Total rainfall through Wednesday morning is below that we favor…we circled a few areas where we favor the best rainfall chances in the video, here’s the screenshot. Most of central to eastern Nebraska poses a risk for widespread 1.0-3.0″ with locally higher possible as the cluster takes a dive SE in eastern Nebraska (noted by the “X”). West-central Kansas sees scattered 0.25-0.75″ (locally 0.75-1.25″)…and northeast Kansas favoring 0.75-1.5″ (locally 2-4″ here too in spots):
The broken line of scattered storms stays persistent across Kansas and especially SE Kansas as we move into later Wednesday into over night Thursday morning…a few being locally strong here as well:
When it’s all said-and-done, this is a the favored model blend regarding rainfall through the short-term forecast…central and eastern Nebraska to eastern Kansas the bread-winners once again:
