.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Wed Sep 13 2017

Above normal temperatures continue with an upper level ridge over
the Rockies and 850mb temperatures soaring above 25 degrees
Celsius. Winds will continue to be from a southerly direction due
to a trough of low pressure located across eastern Colorado. No
precipitation is expected during the short term period with mostly
clear skies. Lows tonight look to dip into the low to mid 60s with
highs tomorrow in the low to mid 90s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 315 PM CDT Wed Sep 13 2017

Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Thursday night across far
western and west central Kansas. However, most places look to
remain dry. Otherwise just expect a slight increase in cloudiness.
Breezy conditions are expected Friday afternoon with a dryline
sliding across the area. This will cause elevated fire weather
conditions across far western Kansas. A chance of thunderstorms
will then be possible Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning as a
cold front moves through the area. Isolated thunderstorms will be
possible through the remainder of the forecast period, but most
places will remain dry. As for temperatures, highs will soar into
the mid to upper 90s Friday, low 80s to low 90s Saturday as the
cold front moves through the area, then 80s on Sunday. Highs then
rebound to around 90s degrees as we head into the first part of
next week. Lows look to dip into the mid to upper 60 Thursday and
Friday night, then mid 50s to mid 60s for the remainder of the
long term forecast.
