Threat of severe weather returns to region Thursday afternoon

After a day’s reprieve from rain, much of northwest Kansas can expect potentially severe weather Thursday afternoon.

The National Weather Service is predicting severe hail and wind across a swath of Kansas from Hugoton to Hays. There is a low to moderate risk for tornados southeast of Dodge City and Larned, as well.

Pea-sized hail already was being reported Thursday morning in Sheridan County.
