Be on alert today, Kansas

Udall, Hoisington, Greensburg — all hammered by large tornadoes in the dark.

It could happen again today, forecasters say. A classic setup for a tornado outbreak in the Great Plains is taking shape over Kansas and Nebraska today, with the greatest risk for tornadoes and large hail coming after 7 p.m. NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has much of central and northern Kansas under a moderate risk, but areas east of there will also be threatened as the evening lengthens.

Stay tuned to conditions and forecasts throughout the day.
