Two rounds of potentially severe weather are ahead for the KVOE listening area Sunday.
The National Weather Service says storms underway in Nebraska since late Saturday will push south and will lead to a marginal severe weather risk, mainly for gusty outflow winds as high as 60 mph. Small hail may also be possible with that round of activity, which could affect area counties through midday if the storms hold together.
By late afternoon, another round of storms may develop along or south of the US Highway 36 corridor in north Kansas and track south. The Storm Prediction Center says separated supercell storms have the potential of generating egg-sized hailstones, or around 2 inches in diameter, as storms develop and mature. 60-mph winds are another threat if discrete cells combine into larger clusters. With heavy rainfall also possible after 1-4 inches of rain areawide Friday, isolated flooding is also a concern.
