All hazards are possible, including large hail up to baseball size, damaging wind gusts to 75 mph and tornadoes.
The severe risk will transition into mainly a heavy rain threat later tonight across the Flint Hills and southeast Kansas where lowland flooding is possible.

A slight risk for severe storms will continue for southeast Kansas on Sunday with a continued risk for heavy rainfall and flooding.
