Severe Thunderstorms Possible for Portions of the Plains on Sunday

There will be a potential severe weather threat on Sunday in the Central Plains. A surface low pressure will continue to track across the northern Plains with an attendant dryline boundary extending southward into Kansas and Oklahoma. Moderate instability is forecast to be present in Oklahoma and Kansas, with general agreement between model guidance for storms to form within the threat region during the afternoon and evening hours. The environment will be supportive of large hail and damaging wind gusts, with a couple tornadoes possible in the late afternoon and evening hours.
