Key takeaways for the next few days:
- Western Kansas is back in the running for evening storms.
- Hotter weather arriving Friday/Saturday
- Heat index will be near 100 to start the weekend
- Watch for Saturday evening storms; a few severe
Evening/overnight – A few storms will impact western Kansas with an occasional wind gust of around 60-65 mph. Much of the active weather will fade late in the evening as they try to move east.
Friday – Heat will intensify with highs back into the mid 90s, but humidity will make it feel hotter. A few storms will develop in western Kansas for the evening, but should fall apart later in the night.
Saturday – Just ahead of the storms and a cold front, it will be quite hot once again. Highs are likely to go back into the mid 90s, but the focus will be turning to thunderstorms that will form in western Kansas. These will be after 6pm, and late into the evening and overnight, chances will be increasing elsewhere around the state. A few severe storms should be expected…
