⚡ Haily's Briefing

Kansas is quiet right now with no active hail or wind alerts, but SPC notes a broader severe setup developing across the central Great Plains later Monday into Monday night. For the Plains on Saturday into Saturday night, they mention widely scattered severe storms with large hail up to 2 inches and damaging wind gusts, though the main corridor is not pinned directly on Kansas in the discussion; tornado risk is not highlighted in the guidance you provided.

Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.

Proudly AI-powered. Honestly sourced. IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through our HailyDB engine and displayed exactly as reported. Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding copy is not a direct quote, it was generated with AI assistance from that same verified storm data and reviewed and approved by humans before publication. AI organizes and presents the record — it never invents storm data.
