Forecasters are urging residents to prepare for a potentially dangerous day of severe weather across the region on Tuesday, with threats that include large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and flash flooding.

Scattered light showers and non-severe storms will linger into early afternoon, with gusty winds up to 50 mph possible. A boundary setting up south of I-70 is expected to become the focus for storm development later this afternoon. If storms form along this boundary, they could bring very large hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.

A more widespread severe threat arrives this evening as a line of storms pushes in from the west. Damaging wind gusts remain the primary hazard, though large hail, a few tornadoes and flash flooding are also possible. A Flood Watch is in effect for portions of north central and northeast Kansas.

The system is expected to exit the region by Wednesday morning.
