The National Weather Service in Dodge City has increased the chances of showers or thunderstorms late Thursday and early Friday in northwest Kansas.
There is now a 70 percent chance of storms, possibly severe, starting late Thursday, with a 40 to 50 percent chance of rain lasting through Friday and into Saturday.
While the NWS is only forecasting between a tenth and a quarter of an inch of rainfall, higher amounts could be possible should thunderstorms spark up.
Storms could bring 60-plus mph winds and up to quarter-size hail, forecasters predicted, noting the probability of tornadoes was low.
The front will also bring a drastic cooldown, with a high of just 50 predicted Friday and the overnight low reaching the freezing point.
