A dangerous severe weather outbreak continues in parts of the Plains. A large tornado that was reported on the ground just 3 miles from Greensburg, KS appears to have missed the town. Great news in an otherwise scary evening that has already produced 32 tornadoes reports as of this writing.
Here is a look at LIVE:ESP this evening using the LEVEL II NEXRAD radar information from Wichita, KS. Nice the hook on the radar image northeast of Greensburg, KS. This signature is a good indication of a tornado.
The other two cells near the Kansas and Okalahoma borders have also produced severe weather and at least one possible tornado.
These showers and thunderstorms will continue to move off to the northeast overnight. Whatever is left of these storms may reach parts of the viewing area and produce a weakening area of showers and maybe a thunderstorm. Best chance of seeing a shower in the morning will occur west of the state line. The rain chance for Saturday stands at about 30%.
We'll track the weekend forecast in depth tonight at 10pm and also on NBC Action News Today on Saturday starting at 8am.
