Warm and humid will be the name of the game through the weekend and into next week, with temperatures rising above average. A “heat dome” of upper level high pressure will cover the southwestern US, with Kansas sitting on the outer rim of its influence. This will keep us warm, but it leaves the door open for showers and storms in the “ring of fire” around the high. Temperatures Friday look warm, rising into the 80s and 90s especially out west.

A weak area of low pressure is moving through southeastern Kansas today, and this has been spinning clouds and light moisture in through the morning for central and eastern Kansas. This will keep clouds hanging heavy in the skies, and consequently the temperature today will be a fair bit cooler than areas farther west where full sunshine is expected. There may be a few pockets of heavier rainfall scattered around southeastern Kansas, but most activity will remain light and drizzly.

Summertime is starting to settle in across Kansas, and we will feel the warmth for much of the afternoon. Highs reach the upper middle to upper 80s. A few pop up storms bubble over eastern Kansas in the afternoon while storms fire up in Colorado and roll toward the state line tonight. These will fizzle as they arrive after dark, with no severe weather expected in Kansas. Tonight stays mild, with temps falling into the 60s for most.

Quiet conditions to start the morning, but it turns muggy by afternoon as temperatures and humidity rise. Temperatures will be less hot and humid to the north on the cool side of an advancing cold front. Ahead of the front, we will have to watch out for storms by afternoon. Storms pop up and quickly intensify in the early to mid afternoon across southern Kansas into northern Oklahoma. Storm coverage looks most assured toward the Oklahoma Panhandle, with more spotty activity closer to Wichita.
