(MSC News)--The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for much of the local area, in effect until 10:00 Thursday night.
Local Kansas counties included are Atchison, Doniphan, Jefferson, and Leavenworth. Brown and Jackson Counties had originally been placed under the watch, but have since been removed by the National Weather Service.
Local Missouri counties included are Platte, Buchanan and Holt.
Possible primary threats include isolated areas of very large hail up to 2 inches in diameter, and isolated damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 25 miles west northwest of Lamoni, Iowa to 45 miles south of Chanute, Kansas.
Remember: a severe thunderstorm watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can, and occasionally do, produce tornadoes.
