Breezy northwest winds allowed highs to only reach the low 70s in northwest Kansas while southeast Kansas saw highs in the 80s. A line of showers and thunderstorms was impacting northeast Oklahoma and southern Missouri. Tranquil weather is expected tonight across the region as surface high pressure settles over the area. This will allow temperatures to plummet with lows in the 40s across parts of northern and western Kansas while far southeast Kansas sees lows in the mid 50s. Breezy southerly winds will return to the region on Saturday allowing low level moisture to gradually return. Late day storms may become severe, especially across the eastern half of Kansas.
