Latest projections for severe weather threat

The Storm Prediction Center still has most of Kansas (including Wichita) in a slight risk for severe weather today. That includes a 2% chance of tornadoes within 25 miles of any given point.

The National Weather Service has produced a graphic describing the most likely threats. Storms are expected to be widely scattered – even isolated – but should they fire up they’ll feature hail as large as baseballs and winds reaching 70 miles an hour.

Wichita is on the northeast boundary of the 30% chance of hail charted on this map produced by the Storm Prediction Center. If you have a garage, put your vehicles in it.
