Is Mother Nature cooking up a memorable Memorial Day weekend?

No matter what their plans are for this holiday weekend, Kansans better factor in where they can seek shelter if strong storms or even tornadoes threaten. The Storm Prediction Center anticipates strong thunderstorms to be a threat over a large portion of the Great Plains for the next several days.

Kansas features prominently in the storm target from Thursday through Monday, according to the SPC outlook map. Plenty of moisture is in place for the storms to feed on, forecasters warn, so anything that fires up has the potential to become severe.
