Stormy weather pattern brings severe risk to Kansas and Arkansas, varied temps and showers to Ohio.

Kansas is expected to experience thunderstorms on Tuesday, with chances of scattered rain and thunder early in the day and more chances in the evening. Severe weather remains a threat, especially for late day and evening storms. Wind will be gusty from the southeast much of the day. Storm chances will diminish somewhat heading into Wednesday, but clouds will be sticking around. A slow-moving system coming from the west will reach the Plains Thursday afternoon, setting the entire area up for storms into the evening and overnight.
