Hazardous Weather Outlook For SHERMAN County,KS
611 PM MDT Wed Apr 24 2024 /711 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024/ DAY ONE TONIGHT Patchy to locally dense fog tonight will be possible, mainly east of the Colorado border. Strong to briefly severe thunderstorms are forecast after midnight for locations along and east of a Hitchcock to Graham county line. Large hail and torrential rainfall will be the primary hazards. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN THURSDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY Severe weather remains forecasted Thursday afternoon and evening for the majority of the Tri-State area. Numerous scenarios for failure do exist with this setup. If storms do form large to very large hail, torrential rainfall, damaging winds and tornadoes, perhaps significant, would all be possible. Low relative humidity and wind gusts near 40 MPH will promote very high to locally extreme grassland fire spread potential for locations along and south of Interstate 70. Thursday afternoon may see patches of blowing dust, mainly near and south of the Interstate 70 corridor. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT Spotter activation is not expected tonight, but is requested for Thursday.
