Kansas is currently sitting under an area of high pressure.
Overnight lows will range from the 50s to the lower 60s.
This weather feature will consistently bring temperatures in the afternoons to just above average this week, dominating the 80s.
There is also an area of low pressure cutoff from the flow over the Desert Southwest which is drawing on monsoon moisture to produce abundant rainfall outside of our viewing area.
Temperatures ease back a few degrees thanks to cloud cover blowing off this activity farther west.
This tries to bring a random sprinkle near the Colorado state line through early this week.
Overall, we will be starved for moisture until this pattern can break next weekend.
Next weekend and into the following week, an incoming boundary will stall and provide us with off and on chances for rain and storms. Temps will also be divided the following week, tied to this boundary.
Warmer air stays south of the boundary as cooler air slowly seeps into Kansas. No threat for any frost/freeze in Kansas through the middle of October, according to weather model guidance right now.
In the Atlantic, we have two tropical systems. Humberto is a powerful hurricane that will remain as a major hurricane the next few days. It should spin out at sea.
The other, Tropical Storm Imelda, has formed. This is over the Bahamas and should grow into a hurricane early this week. Right now, it does not pose a threat to the immediate US Mainland for a landfall and should curve back out into the Atlantic Ocean.
