Hazardous Weather Outlook For LANE County,KS

312 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 /212 AM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024/ DAY ONE Today and Tonight No hazardous weather is expected at this time. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN Thursday through Tuesday Severe thunderstorms are possible across much of southwest KS Thursday afternoon and evening, with all severe hazards possible. That said, multiple modes of failure exist with the setup, which could largely or entirely preclude severe thunderstorms from materializing. Severe thunderstorms again appear possible Saturday afternoon and evening for locations along and east of US-183, capable of all severe hazards. Similar to Thursday, plenty of uncertainty remains. Fire weather conditions are likely Thursday through Saturday as strong southwest winds Thursday and Saturday, and strong west- southwest winds on Friday overlap with warm, dry air. A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for our western 6 counties Thursday afternoon, and further fire weather headlines may be forthcoming for Friday and Saturday. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT Spotter activation will not be needed.
