Weather
A system is moving through the middle of the country Thursday with scattered showers and thunderstorms. It has already produced large hail in Kansas and northern Missouri and will spread that threat out from northeast Texas to Ohio today. Large hail is again the biggest threat, but tornadoes and strong winds are also possible. Heavy snow continues in the Four Corners and front range areas as well.
