The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the severe weather threat to moderate for much of central Kansas, as well as portions of Oklahoma and Nebraska.
SPC meteorologists are warning of a “widespread severe threat” that includes the possibility of “longer-lived strong tornadoes.” Of particular concern to meteorologists at the SPC is west-central Kansas, which makes me think of cities such as Great Bend, Dodge City, Hays – and, yes, Greensburg.
A slight risk encompasses most of the western two-thirds of Kansas, stretching as far east as I-135.
Stay tuned, Kansas, and keep an eye on the sky Thursday afternoon and evening.
