SKIES WERE GENERALLY PARTLY SUNNY ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS THIS 

AFTERNOON.  LATE AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 

80S TO LOW 90S.  WINDS PREVAILED FROM THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST AT SPEEDS 

OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 45 MPH.  SOME SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL 

KANSAS. 



IT LOOKS TO BE A VERY ACTIVE NIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF MIDDLE AMERICA.  A 

STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA...THROUGH NORTH 

CENTRAL KANSAS...AND INTO THE PANHANDLE OF OKLAHOMA.  THIS FRONT 

WILL TRACK SLOWLY EAST TONIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY.  SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  EARLY IN THE 

EVENING...THERE WILL BE THE THREAT OF A FEW ISOLATED TORNADOES.  

HOWEVER...THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP INTO A LINE OF SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS EVENING.  THIS MEANS THAT THE MAIN THREAT 

WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.  SEVERE 

THUNDERSTORM AND TORNADO WATCHES ARE ALREADY POSTED FOR MUCH OF THE 

REGION.  THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL 

WITH THIS SYSTEM.  A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS 

OF IOWA TONIGHT.



LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 40S TO THE MID 50S 

ACROSS NORTHERN NEBRASKA AND NORTHERN IOWA...TO MAINLY THE 60S AND 

LOW 70S ELSEWHERE.  HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL GENERALLY BE 

IN THE 70S AND 80S.
