The line of thunderstorms coming out of Colorado may sweep across Kansas during the night. If so, it has the potential to cause damaging winds and power outages.  Severe thunderstorm watch with tornadoes possible until 2am.

These are the types of photos you will see at my site at Adobe Stock Photography . I've submitted several spectacular photos from today, but it takes them time to curate them. Regardless, please click the red link and I believe you will enjoy viewing my photos.
