Hays to Salina Saturday

April 11, 2026 | Forecast Thoughts

Quick evening note; will travel my way out I-70 tomorrow, leaving a bit earlier in the morning than I would for a typical ‘travel day’ just in case a storm can get going in central Kansas in the afternoon; not expecting a ton out of it, but given the Sunday setup, this sets me up well.   Initially thought about cruising into Burlington mid-afternoon to see if the storms in Colorado would be worth anything, and I am just not convinced they’ll amount to enough to dedicate missing any central Kansas potential, nor sacrificing a full day’s drive out east.  Some CAMs are trying to spark a couple storms in central Kansas tomorrow, and it’s a halfway decent environment if a storm can get going.  So that said, an early departure from home to head out east, and maybe we’ll land in Hays for a late lunch and see where things are.
