National Weather Force has issued a Tornado Watch, effective this evening until 3am Sunday morning.
Zones Affected: Northeast and Extreme Eastern Colorado – Western half of Kansas, including Dodge City, Central and Southern Kansas, including the Wichita Forecast zones.
A system out of the west will dig into the Rocky Mountains this afternoon. Strong lifting within the upper levels coupled with strong instability will bring rapid severe thunderstorms development around the 5pm local hour across Northeastern Colorado. This development will round the ridge and dive east-southeast through Western Kansas around 9pm local and reaching Wichita’s forecast zone around midnight.
The watch box extends to the Oklahoma and Kansas border just in-case, however I am expecting less activity chances for that border zone, with the most being the Western Kansas section of the watch box.
All modes of severe weather will be expected, including extremely strong winds with the diving bow echo segment, large hail, and tornadoes.
