 We are once again looking at an area of severe thunderstorms across the western plains states today. These storms will fire up along the front range of the Rockies from eastern Wyoming through Colorado and then build eastward in parts of southwest South Dakota into western Nebraska and western Kansas. These storms will have the potential for damaging winds, hail, and local flash flooding. We have been watching a frontal system shifting to the south and east over the last several days. From that, there have been heavy, gusty thunderstorms along and ahead of that boundary.
