.DISCUSSION...
Latest surface analysis shows cold front extends from just west of
Salina to Guymon. Front will make southward progress across the TX
Panhandle, but not much eastward progress. Showers and
thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the boundary, but
the greatest coverage will likely be across northeast Kansas into
northern Missouri. The combination of weak convergence, warm
temperatures aloft, and weak large scale lift suggest that most
convection stays north of Oklahoma. Thermal ridge will extend from
southwest Oklahoma through southeast Kansas, and in this zone,
temperatures may climb a degree or two higher than yesterday. It
shouldn`t be quite as windy, though. Heat index values will
approach advisory criteria, with max indices from 100-103.

Front lifts back north of the area on Thursday, and the heat and
humidity will be around right through the weekend. Upper pattern
will be dominated by large upper trough in the west and upper
ridge in the east. Shortwave trough will finally begin to move
east by Sunday, sending a cold front east across the northern
Plains Monday. The front won`t arrive here until Tuesday, and with
it, the next chance for showers/storms. Temperatures behind the
front will be closer to climatological norms, but until then,
highs will be 5-10 degrees above normal and mild lows in the upper
60s to mid 70s.
