Saturday afternoon weather update

 SATURDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE: Overall, threats have shifted south -- somewhat.

THE PRIMARY THREATS with what's below continues to be damaging hail, but strong winds up to damaging winds may be the more widespread threat.

OVERALL TIMING has not changed, but I think there are now two distinct rounds:

The first takes shape in eastern Kansas around 9-10PM;

The second - possibly the more widespread and organized of the two, could kick off in NE Oklahoma around 1-2AM, arriving in West Central MO around the 3am timeframe.

Dubray breaks BHS shot put record

 The Butler track team hosted the largest field of athletes Thursday night for the annual Butler High School Invitational. Twenty-eight schools attend this meet making it the largest meet in the area outside of college-hosted meets and the state championships. Only the best times and marks were going to score in this contest, let alone earn a top-3 medal. The Bears did not back down and won 10 medals (3 gold) while setting 15 personal records in this early stage of the season, and one new school record was set.

Below are those who placed in the top 8 and scored points for the team or set a new personal record in an event.
