Here's a look back at some of the warnings issued Saturday.
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado emergency for Conway Springs. This is the second tornado emergency issued tonight. Macksville in Stafford County is also under the emergency warning. The emergency is issued when a strong and large tornado is headed towards a community.The storm in Conway Spring is moving towards south Wichita and Derby. Sirens are sounding in Sedgwick County and you should take precautions. Ross Janssen says the storm is cycling, which means dropping tornadoes on and off. Ross says there's a strong potential for this system to produce additional tornadoes.
When the sirens sound in Sedgwick County, all of the sirens will go off. The county is not yet done with the upgrade. However, everyone should take tornado precautions to be safe. Storm Team 12 will remain on the air to let you know what's happening.

If you do hear sirens, you need to take cover. Go to the lowest part of your home, a basement or bathroom. Stay away from doors and windows.
Earlier tonight, a Storm Team 12 chaser saw a wedge tornado two miles west of Goessel in Marion County. He says it was a large wedge tornado that became rain wrapped. Between the rain and darkness, it's becoming more difficult for our chasers to track storms.
That's why our meteorologists are Doppler radar, they can analyze the radar for rotation to help detect tornadoes.
The threat of tornadoes continue throughout Kansas. Another storm is moving through Oklahoma into Kansas. Parts of Harper County is also under a tornado warning.
Earlier in the evening, a dangerous wedge tornado ended up back on the ground near Ottawa County north of I-70. It also headed towards Dickinson County.
This is the same storm system that produced a wedge tornado for more than 15 minutes in Rice and Saline Counties.
Storm Team 12 Meteorologist Ross Jannsen says this is what he feared, the storm system reorganized. He says this tornado can cause significant damage.
Sirens sounded in the town of Salina, but the threat there is about over. The storm is still moving north and east of Salina.
