.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 245 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025

Weak high pressure will dominate Kansas weather today, so we
can expect quiet conditions. Temperatures will perhaps be a
touch warmer than yesterday, but most of the forecast area will
still struggle to reach the 90s as NBM probabilities greater
than 90 degrees are mostly less than 20%, with a few exceptions
to the north and southeast. Winds will be light for most,
generally less than 15 mph given high pressure. Tonight remains
calm and tranquil as temperatures drop mainly into the 60s.

Wednesday and Thursday will feature at least some pop up storm
chances (around 20-30%), but overall coverage and intensity will
be limited. Higher storm chances (30-40%) will come Friday and
into the weekend as weak and subtle troughing ejects into the
Plains. This may be enough to result in some better organization
to storms given slightly better forcing, but likely not enough
for much in the way of severe. Otherwise, temperatures this week
gradually increase into the 4th of July and the holiday weekend
with high temperatures in the 90s and lows in the middle 60s to
low 70s.
