Storms are expected to fire up this afternoon from southeastern Montana to northeastern Kansas. Large hail up to 2 inches and damaging winds to 60 mph are the main hazards. There is also potential for a few isolated tornadoes across the ‘elevated’ region. These storms will move towards the south and southeast through the afternoon to the evening when diurnal heating is at its maximum.
Some widely scattered strong to severe storms will fire up this afternoon from southeastern Wyoming and northeastern Colorado into much of Nebraska and Kansas. These storms will produce damaging wind gusts to 65 mph and large hail to 2 inches in diameter before they weaken overnight. An isolated tornado can’t be ruled out completely, but the threat is low.
