Friday afternoon, the best chances for scattered showers and a few strong storms will be found across parts of western Kansas, as a warm front lifts northward into Nebraska. Some of the storms could produce large hail and wind gusts over 60 mph. The storms will most likely be moving east to northeast.
Temperatures north of the Friday afternoon's front will will be quite cool over central and northern Kansas will only be in the 50s, while highs across the south top out in the low to mid-60s.
Everyone across Kansas will have a chance for storms late Friday night into Saturday morning as a powerful storm system kicks out of the southern Rockies and into Kansas.
The Saturday system will spread the threat for severe storms along and east of I-135, a Salina to Wichita line, by midday. Hail, wind, and isolated tornadoes will all be possible Saturday afternoon with the stronger storms.
It will be windy, warm and humid with highs between 75-80. The risk for severe storms will be end early Saturday evening and Sunday looks dry and mild.
