Keep an eye on the weather tonight. Stay weather aware.

Thunderstorms are expected to gradually become more organized over the next few hours as they approach from the southwest. Not everyone will see severe weather, but localized damaging winds, heavy rain, and a few tornadoes will be possible through around 11 PM - particularly for areas south of the Kansas Turnpike. So keep an eye on the weather this evening!
