Tornado watch issued for central Kansas

A few spots could touch 90 degrees.

Scattered rain and isolated storms are expected for Thursday morning.

It’s an even milder start to Thursday, with even more of a summer feel. Lows will be mainly in the mid 40s to low 50s.

Shower chances linger into Saturday morning, then decrease through the afternoon hours.

Primary threats include a few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible. Those fleeting tornadoes may seem like an afterthought compared to the coastal wind and flooding, yet they are also capable of causing injury and damage hundreds of miles away from the coast.

While much of the Great Plains is dealing with risky severe storms, San Antonio is awaiting its best chance for rain.

Severe weather has not been a topic of discussion for 2018 thus far but as we get into early May the first round of strong storms could be moving through. Temperatures will reach the low 80s this afternoon.

Sunday night – A chance of showers.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: The weekend is turning more unsettled. The rain and heavy cloud coverage early in the day tomorrow will limit the severe threat for tomorrow afternoon, however if clouds break through the day sunshine will provide way for more storm initiation. It’s typically the state with the third most tornadoes annually, as well as home to some of the highest tornado odds per square mile.

Mulford says the storms are expected to form in extreme southeast Nebraska, southwest Iowa, and northwest Missouri.

Kern said 0.27 of an inch of rain fell in Omaha in April, nominally better than the driest April on record, which was 0.23 of an inch in 1936.

REMEMBER.A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Overnight lows will be near 60F. Expect temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
