Damaging Wind and Giant Hail Threat

We don't normally cover severe thunderstorm watches unless it is a high-end threat.

This particular watch is for hail to 3" in diameter and wind gusts to 75 mph. This intensity of wind-driven hail can do a great deal of damage if it develops as forecast. So, I recommend:

• Bring your car inside
• Bring trampolines and lawn furniture inside
• In case of power failures, make sure your cell and laptop are charged

At 5:23pm, radar shows intensifying thunderstorms in western and central Kansas generally moving in a southeast direction.
