Areas just east of Lawrence are remaining under a tornado watch through early evening, said Matt Sayers, 6News meteorologist.

“They canceled it for Douglas County,” Sayers said.

The watch area, which runs through 8 p.m., covers much of eastern Kansas, including Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Johnson counties, Sayers said. Douglas County was in the watch area briefly, Sayers said.

Sayers said Lawrence isn’t expected to get any severe weather.

“We aren’t going to see anything tonight,” he said.

Thursday will bring cloudy skies and cooler temperatures, he said.

“Tomorrow, you might see a passing shower around the midday,” Sayers said.

At 4:20 p.m. the temperature at Lawrence Municipal Airport was 77 degrees, the humidity was 32 percent and winds were from the southwest at 22 mph, gusting to 35 mph. Skies were partly cloudy.
