UPDATE: The National Weather Service in Wichita has pushed back the start time to after midnight and tweaked the storm forecast.

The southern part of our area has a chance for severe storms late tonight.

Severe storms will be possible after 11 p.m. Tuesday and will track northeast across the region, according to the National Weather Service in Wichita.

For the affected counties in our area, quarter-sized hail and strong winds of up to 55 mph are possible, NWS-Wichita noted. Damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph and hail up to the size of half dollars will be the primary threats in southern Kansas.

An isolated tornado embedded within a line of storms is also possible near the Kansas-Oklahoma border area.
