Risk of Damaging Thunderstorms in Kansas and Southern Nebraska

I bring this to your attention because the potential exists for damaging thunderstorms in the area outlined in blue.

In the words of the NWS Storm Prediction Center:

I believe the tornado threat may be a bit more serious than stated above.

Given that 80 mph winds are forecast to occur, there will be the possibility of power failures and tree damage. Please prepare accordingly. Also, please remember to take your phone and computers off their chargers the first time you hear thunder as the resulting power surges can damage them.
