...HALES

[RL3AO]

You can see the difference between the .75" hail criteria and the 1" criteria in Kansas. There is only one SVR in Kansas right now with three or four cells that would have warnings if they were in Nebraska. A lot of these SVR's in Nebraska would probably not be warned on starting April 1.

[KWT]

Quite a few watches and warnings seems to be coming in at this moment, perhaps a little earlier then expected though the greatest tornado risk is probably with these discrete cells. Wonder how long these can last before becoming linear.

[KWT]

Here's such a severe warning:

[RL3AO]

That one still would because of the winds.

[RL3AO]

[CrazyC83]

Ping pong hail also is warranting a SVR.

That cell above definitely calls for a TOR - lots of rotation there.

Looks like another one done for hail and the severe winds, however I agree that cell on the radar suggests we could have a tornado warning soon...

[6SpeedTA95]

Hey guys, figured I'd check in before my buddy shows up to go chase.

Things could be pretty active on the dryline in the I35 corridor beginning in about 90 minutes.

[CrazyC83]

Seems the Kansas offices are hesitant to put out tornado warnings.

[KWT]

Yep indeed, doesn't seem to have been any tornado warnings out for nearly half an hour now as well.

[RL3AO]

There were seven chasers just from TVN on that cell with a hook. I guess they told the NWS that nothing is happening so they issue no warning.

[RL3AO]

Just as I was saying that...

Just got home, don't know my Kansas counties, but Manhattan should probably be under a tornado warning in my amateur and unofficial and unendorsed opinion.
