Strong Storms and Heavy Rainfall Threats; Dangerous Heat for Southern Plains into the Southwest

The early storms have lowered chances some, but storms remain possible this afternoon and evening. This is especially true for western portions of the area which did not see the early storms. Stay alert, as storms that form may become severe.
The lack of storms Monday night is keeping us on our toes for today's severe threat. Wind is still the main threat, but hail and a brief tornado could ruin your plans. Severe winds and hail from storms tomorrow are also possible. Keep an eye out for updates!
Due to accumulating hail damage the past few years, the Goodland radar is getting a new radar dome. The issue is that the radar itself will likely be down through Sep. 9th. You may look at neighboring radars to still see radar data. We will still send watches and warnings.
