Non-severe showers and storms Wednesday morning have apparently pushed the day’s severe risk deep into the night.
Officially, there is a slight risk areawide, mainly for wind and hail. The National Weather Service Topeka office says severe weather may wait until the overnight hours before getting to Lyon and surrounding counties, and storms could well be losing their strength as they approach.
Rain totals have spotty, both from Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning:
*KVOE studios: 0.25 inches
*Emporia Municipal Airport: 0.40 inches
*10th and Weaver: Trace
*Allen: 1 inch
*Kansas Highway 99 on Lyon-Greenwood county line: 0.45 inches
Severe weather is also possible through the rest of the work week, with a marginal hail/wind risk for all area counties Thursday and a marginal hail/wind risk along and west of Kansas Highway 99 on Friday. Flooding rainfall is a concern with anywhere from 1-4 inches of rain through Friday in the NWS forecast.

5:15 am Wednesday: Slight severe weather risk begins by late afternoon, but most of Wednesday could have storm activity
It’s another day of severe weather potential across the KVOE listening area.
Tuesday’s risk didn’t pan out, with the only severe weather report for an area county being quarter-sized hail near Burdick. However, TV-13 meteorologist Doug Meyers is noting the slight severe weather risk for all hazards Wednesday. He’s also tracking the risk for flooding Wednesday through the rest of the week.
Severe weather is also possible through the rest of the work week, with a marginal all-hazards risk for all area counties Thursday and a marginal hail/wind risk along and west of Kansas Highway 99 on Friday.
