Strong thunderstorms have developed in eastern Colorado and northeast New Mexico. These may congeal into a derecho over Kansas during the night. An indicator this may occur is the line of thunderstorms at a 90° angle over Kansas ahead of the storms. A tornado watch is in effect for those storms.
Derechoes can produce very strong winds and hail. Below is the wind forecast (gusts 60 mph or higher) from the NWS Storm Prediction Center. Fifteen percent is the significant threshold.
