To the person in Marshall county I can't see anything either I can only hear Jeremy and Drew so you are not alone

Anyone else having this issue? Please tell me about it... and we will try to get you back up and running. Jeremy

That storm by Osborne on radar looks like it has a big hook to it can we get a screen shot like the last one by hill city?

Tough to do right now... will try. Jeremy

Is there a high risk of that strom in Michell county to split off into other storms or will stay like it is?

Will likely stay as is. Jeremy

Is it just my computer or is anyone else having problems with streaming coverage? I can hear but cannot see anything in my box.

Hi Jeremy. Do you think the risk of tornadoes is gone for Wamego? It looks like the worst is heading to Nebraska. I don't have a weather radio and I don't want to go to bed if there could be a tornado because I don't think I would hear the sirens. Thought I would see what you think. Thanks:)

You are probably OK. Would prefer you would get up about 2AM to check in on that massive storm to your west... it is your only threat. By then, it will be obvious if it is still a problem for you. Jeremy

I am watching the live stream do u think that tornado storm will take a SE track? Because it looks like to me it is pushing SE.

It has been curving back and forth for 6 hours. It won't dive southeast very far if it does. Jeremy

As Dale posted earlier...are you going to run livestream??

It's on. Look at top of www.wibw.com/weather Jeremy

Jeremy, From your forecast it looks like the low pressure center will be far enough north that all the "big" storms will stay north of Manhattan. What do you think? We always miss all the fun here! ;) ps I like the hook echo pic, its a good shot of it.

Hope you are right. :) Jeremy

Clyde is going to get missed by everything right??

No. That monster cell west of Concordia may still hit you. I hope it does not. Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy! I think I might stay up a little while longer and then go to bed. If its just hail, it will wake me up anyway. The joys of having a tin roof. Thanks again you are great!

You are quite welcome. Jeremy

Do we have much of a big risk here, just wondering if I should stay up awhile or go to bed.

Your call. Most likely threat tonight is hail. Jeremy

Just started raining here, along with thunder and lighting 11 pm. Hopefully won't get much more than that. Thanks so much for your great weather!!

Are you going to run the live stream tonight??

Hi Jeremy. Where is Rooks and Sheridan County from Wamego and Pottawatomie. Not being from here, I'm getting a little nervous. I keep going outside to check, I see clouds and star mixture. What is that about. Can you ease my nerves and let me know if anything is going to happen here and around about what time. I will be up, I'm too nerved to sleep. Thanks and keep up the good work. Are we going to have any sunshine tomorrow. My daughter-in-law is flying in from LA tomorrow night to meet my son. Will the weather be ok for that. Thanks.

LONG... way from you. Hail core on that storm is 170 miles to your west. Just got a severe t-storm watch for you though. Details in a moment. Jeremy

pixels starting to show a little red north of concordia. Is this the starting potential of some severe weather in this area??

That is very possible. Jeremy

I was wondering what would be the most efficient means of contacting you guys during the storm to report conditions. I plan on picking up a buddy and watching the show if it shows enough potential.

weather@wibw.com is the best way to submit. or, call 785-272-6397 and leave a message with answering service. Jeremy

If the tornado sirens are still not working in Topeka how will we know if a tornado warning is issed for Shawnee county tonight?

Sirens are working in Topeka now. But... sirens are only meant for people who are outdoors. Best way to get waken up for a warning is a NOAA Weather Radio. Jeremy

so... do you think northwestern pott.co. will get storms tonight?

Yes. Going to be very late. Jeremy

How in the heck is there not a tornado watch where all those tornadoes are??

Severe T-Storm Watch mentions the risk of an isolated tornado in many cases. Here is part of the watch - "DISCUSSION...CONVECTION WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY THROUGH THE EVENING AS A MID LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVE EWD FROM CO TO KS/NEB. STEEP LAPSE RATES AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 50 KT WILL SUPPORT ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...BUT RELATIVELY WEAK LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND MODEST BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE SUGGEST THIS THREAT IS LIMITED THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING." http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0226.html

Does WIBW have there weather chasers chasing this tornadic storm near hill city??

No. Darin broke off of it. When it gets dark, it's more dangerous to chase. Jeremy

what are the chances of the storm coming over Fort Riley, and do you have a time estimate? Thank You!! I think your weather perdictions have been really good. I am from Monterey, CA I have learned a lot about weather from watching you.

Going to be a few hours. Most likely after Midnight. Rain chance is very high. Thanks for the kind words. :) Jeremy

Well,Jeremy, It's almost 9 and there is nothing on the weather tv about any warnings. Are they all over, or have they not hit in our areass yet? Take Care,Lisa

It's going to be a late night event. Likely after Midnight for most of the 13 Viewing area. Tracking a nasty storm approaching Hill City right now. Still 130 miles west of Concordia. Jeremy

those storms are starting to aim for the viewing area! So far it dont look like it will go tornadic will it??

Storm near Seldon Kansas has hail larger than baseballs and a possible tornado. Risk is still there for us. Jeremy

What is the risk for tornadoes in shawnee county?

Definately a risk here. Tracking a tornado warning in Sheridan County right now. Threat makes it over here late tonight. Jeremy

Jeremy, it appears from the blogs and maps that S. Lyon county might not get the brunt of the storms. Are the storms going to stay mostly North of us? Thank you so much for your on-the-toes coverage!! Always rely on WIBW, you and your team!

You are reading it the same as me. Looks likely that it will stay north of you. I hope so anyway. Jeremy

R WE GOING TO HAVE A TORNADO TONIGHT???

Tracking a tornado warning in western Kansas right now. Jeremy

Hi again Jeremy. Do you think we will be put under a tornado watch soon? What time do you think the storms will be in Wamego? I was in the Andover tornado in 1991 so this whole tornado thing makes me nervous. Thank you for staying on top of things and keeping us aware of the situation.

Going to be long while before we have a Watch. Probably a Severe Thunderstorm Watch... would guess it gets issued around Midnight. Jeremy

Thanks again Jeremy!

I cant wait for the return of livestream :P

Will start at 10:35PM. Jeremy

are you expecting large out breaks of tornadoes, or are they going to be up north?? i've been watching supercast and it looks like we are just gonna get some rain possibly some thunder storms should i be concerned about tornadoes?

Tornado risk is still in place. Greatest risk is north of I-70 late. Jeremy

eh it looks like the storms are really popping up fast in the western kansas area, would you estimate around 11ish when these storms will pop up in north central kansas??

That is a good estimate. Jeremy

We have a weather radio but often turn it off because of all the warnings such as flash flood, severe thunderstorm, etc that we really don't need. Is there any way to get a radio to receive *just* tornado warnings? That's the only warning we really need.

Never tried to do that. Anybody have an answer. Jeremy

so we have nothing to worry about in osage co????t-storms or tornado's

I didn't say that. Greatest risk is north of I-70... but there is still a risk in Osage. Just not as high. Jeremy

Jeremy - I just want to thank you for the wonderful coverage you give all of us in NE KS! Thank you for helping us be prepared!

:) Thanks, Jeremy

Thanks Jeremy. It took me a while to figure out where Pottawatomie County is, but the phone book came in handy, which let me know Wamego is just a little east of Manhattan. I know the base is only about 15-20 miles from here. I checked the basement for supplies. I will be ok. Thanks for your help and by the way I love KS. Let's all hope our soldiers at Ft. Riley will stay as dry as possible. Looking forward to your update at 6 pm

You are quite welcome.

is there going to be that livestream weather thing tonight?? if so you wibw weather team pwnz!

Pwning is what we do at WIBW. :) We will run a stream tonight. If anything pops before the 10PM Newscast, we will start it early. If no storms have appeared by then, we will just go to the stream at 10:35PM after the Newscast. Will run it all night.

When I said Bonkers, i was meaning that some models of Weather Radios has a alert tone, like a alarm clock.

Clyde Kansas is the same way but then again Clyde is only 13 miles east of Concordia. Clyde has never got hit by anything intense to be honest!

I love watching the lightening from the storms but here in Concordia we seem to be in a protected bubble. All the areas around us get pummeled and we don't get a drop, whats up with that? Probably just perspective. If you consider the size of Concordia... verses what you would see as "areas around"... the odds are much higher of something being close than actually hitting you. You could compare it to bowling. For me... I am much more likely to hit something other than the "head pin". :)Hope that helps? Jeremy

Ben, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you but I've never had problems w/ my weather radio (purchased at Walmart) after programming my County (which is of course Shawnee).

Yes, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, even Dillions had them.. I also know you can listen online.. BUT, they do not give WARNING Alerts in your area. (Most weather radios go bonkers when you set your county up for Warnings) Link to the online weather radio is.. http://www.wunderground.com/wxradio/smallplayer.htm

Jeremy, You mention NOAA weather radios. Do you know where they are available for purchase? Thank you.

Radio Shack has them. Best Buy does as well. I think that Wal-Mart does. They are fairly easy to find. Anybody else want to suggest a store... please do. Jeremy

I am visiting from LA. Not used to this. My son stationed at Ft. Riley and will not be home until tomorrow. Am I in danger here in Wamego and when should I expect it. I don't even know what county this is. Could you please help me out here. Thanks.

You are in Pottawatomie County. Wamego is on the southern border of the county... right above Wabaunsee County. You have a tornado risk, but there is no reason to fear. Just be prepared in case it happens. There is a risk for tornadoes between 11PM and 5AM for you. Of course, that's when most people are asleep... so it's a must to know the risk before hitting the bed. One way to stay informed late at night is a NOAA Weather Radio with SAME technology. Basically, you can program it to notify you for warnings in your county. If you have a basement... that's the best place to go during a tornado. Stay away from windows and put as many walls as possible between you and the outside of the house. Many people in Kansas have never seen a tornado. They are more common here than anywhere in the world, but your chances of being harmed are quite low. We do our best to inform folks and most Kansans do a great job of preparing and reacting to the warnings. It's just a part of life here. We are always here when wild weather strikes. You can watch us on TV or on the web for coverage. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask us. Welcome to Kansas. :) Jeremy

is clyde,ks in the bigger tornado chance area??

Yes. Jeremy

My son is scheduled to play baseball tonight here in Topeka, beginning at 6:30. Do you think the storms will be here by then?

Should be OK at 6:30. Possible to see a few sprinkles or light rain then, but the dangerous stuff is later. Much later. Jeremy

Hi Jeremy. When do you think the severe weather eill affect Wamego? Are we at risk for tornados? I have a baby and will stay up late if the weather is going to get bad tonight. Thanks

You do have a chance of tornadoes late tonight. Stay in touch with me on the web... and I will let you know when the risk passes by. Not sure on an exact time for you yet, but it could be very late. Jeremy

Hey Jeremy do you have a supercast of about 9:00pm that you could post to give people an idea of where things may be progressing at that time?

Check Web Weather. On right side of www.wibw.com/weather. Video will be updated in a moment... I go through the entire run of SuperCast. New Data will be available around 4PM. Jeremy

I am 20 miles south of the Ft. Riley area would it be safe to say that we are at a lower risk for severe weather and may not be included in a tornado watch if one was issued?

I would project that you would be in the southern portion of a Tornado Watch. This is of course a projection. Would not put you in the clear just yet. I would say that I see a higher risk north of you... but please don't let your guard down just yet. Jeremy Jeremy

I am new to the mayetta area, I never hear any specific information about that area. What clues should I take from your reports that I am potentially in a bad weather situation?

If severe weather is heading for Mayetta... we will let you know. During our daily forecasts we don't always mention Mayetta... but in Severe Weather Coverage... we mention all towns in the path. You can always ask me for more details on the blog of course. :) Jeremy

We're new to Kansas, all this tornado stuff is new...how does Topeka look for tonight??

We have a risk of tornadoes late. Going to be after 11PM. If you have a NOAA Weather Radio, make sure it's ready tonight. We will have coverage on TV and on the Web. Let me know if you have any questions at all. Welcome to Topeka. :) Jeremy

What do you think about the Morris county area? Such locations as Dwight and Alta Vista Area? Do you see a signifigant potential for severe weather and possibly tornadic events in that area?

I just put up a map with the 2AM projection of the storm system. The warm front is currently projected to pass you between 9PM and 11PM. Your risk would end earlier than that north of I-70. When the winds shift to the Southwest at your home... the threat will drop dramatically for your location. As long as your surface winds are from the east or southeast... I would remain on guard. Jeremy

I'll have my weather radio with me at choir rehearsal tonight. We start at 7:30... does the weather danger begin then, or do you think it will be later?

It appears that the danger is later than 7:30PM. I hate to give you the "all clear" for that time period, but certainly the greatest risk is much later. Jeremy

What about Marysville? Any storms up North?

Marysville has a slightly higher risk than Manhattan and significantly higher than southern Kansas. I am about to post a new map that may explain it a little better. Jeremy

What do you think will happen in Manhattan this evening and overnight?

Rain chances begin after 7PM in Manhattan. Severe Weather risk is greatest from 11PM to 7AM with a maximimum threat of 2AM to 5AM. Jeremy
