WICHITA —Despite the morning rain Monday in Kansas, the National Weather Service office in Wichita is still concerned about the potential for severe weather Monday afternoon and evening in the state.

They see the greatest potential down along the southern border of Kansas, south of a Kingman to Wellington line, into northern Oklahoma between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Dime to tennis ball size hail is the main threat, but a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out and if they form, they could be destructive at EF2 or higher strength.

For reference, Friday's storm that struck Andover has been preliminarily classified as an EF3.
