Scattered evening storms are anticipated across western Kansas, gradually moving eastward through the night and into early Wednesday morning. Although the risk of severe weather remains minimal, there’s a chance of small hail accompanying a few storms.

Morning Rain Forecast along I-135 Corridor

Wednesday morning is likely to witness the highest probability of morning rain, particularly along the I-135 corridor. However, these showers are not expected to escalate into severe storms.

Potential for Stronger Storms in Afternoon

As temperatures warm up to around 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the afternoon, southwest and south central Kansas might experience stronger storms. These storms could bring large hail, possibly up to the size of golf balls, and heavy rainfall, potentially affecting the evening commute.

Varied Weather Conditions Across Kansas

While much of far western and northern Kansas may remain untouched by storms, any developments in these areas are unlikely to escalate into severe weather events.

Outlook for the Coming Days

The rain is expected to subside by early Thursday morning, leading to a mild day with highs in the mid-70s. However, warmer weather is on the horizon for the end of the week, with temperatures soaring well into the 80s and even reaching the 90s by Saturday.
