Storm front Monday could bring Kansas November tornadoes

(This story was updated to accurately reflect the most current information.) The National Weather Service predicts a slight chance for severe weather, including potential tornadoes, during the late afternoon and early evening Nov. 2 in parts of Kansas that include Topeka, Hutchinson and Salina.
