The Storm Prediction Center has only a slight risk for severe weather in south-central Kansas today, but forecasters indicate there’s a 10% chance of tornadoes in the southeast corner of the state – essentially from Wichita east.
By comparison, the SPC had listed a 15% chance of tornadoes for north-central Kansas Wednesday night. Salina, Chapman, Manhattan and other parts of the region are sifting through the rubble and tending to numerous victims this morning.
The National Weather Service in Wichita reports that large hail and damaging winds are the primary threat today, but it would seem wise to be alert to the possibility of tornadoes as well. The SPC reports that ingredients will be in place to support tornadoes later tonight.
