NEVER drive around barricades into floodwaters! More than 50% of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related. It only takes 12 inches of fast-moving water to carry off a small car and 18 inches of water to sweep a larger vehicle away.

Several rounds of storms will be possible across the next few days including a few strong to severe storms Tuesday morning to afternoon. The next rounds of storms this week should mainly come during the evening to overnight period Wednesday (40-70% chances) as well as during the day on Thursday (30-60% chances). Details regarding location or coverage of these storms remain more limited for now due to lower confidence. Otherwise, an extensive period of mostly cloudy skies will help keep highs mainly in the upper 60s to low 80s through Friday.

As the day has gone on, it's become increasingly-clear that any threat for a few severe storms this afternoon-evening should MAINLY focus within our far western forecast area, or possibly even west of our forecast area altogether. This is due to the fact that widespread low clouds are keeping conditions cooler and more stable over the vast majority of our area. That being said, it is still possible that a FEW strong to severe storms could try sneaking into our western counties mainly between 5 PM- Midnight. The main hazards with any severe storms would be hail up around ping pong ball size and/or wind gusts up to around 60 MPH.

Over night rain fall in gauge at Rooks County Fairgrounds 2.30 inches.
