Extreme Weather for July 15

Good Evening,

Severe thunderstorms are developing across the Central Plains this evening. A tornado watch has been issued for northeast Kansas until Midnight. As of 9pm CDT, strong to severe super cells are firing across northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska. These storms are producing large hail and winds in excess of 70mph. The main threats will be large hail, damanging winds and isolated tornadoes.

Strong thunderstorms are also developing across North Dakota and Minnesota this evening. A few of those storms may produce large hail and damaging winds. However, these storms are not as intense as the storms across Kansas and Nebraska.

It was another hot day across the South. A heat advisory is in effect for several locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and northern Louisiana. Most of the heat advisories are in effect through Friday.

The tropics remain active across the East Pacific. Hurricane Dolores is currently a Cat 3 with winds of 125mph with gusts to 155mph. Dolores will continue to weaken as it moves WNW at 5mph. Dolores will weaken to a tropical storm by Saturday afternoon. Tropical Storm Enrique has winds of 40mph with gusts to 50mph and will continue to weaken as it moves WNW at 8mph.

Enjoy your evening,

David Stevens
