However, stronger wind gusts around 40 mph occurred over a few areas of western and central Kansas. Temperatures today rose into the mid 80s to low 90s. There were some very isolated showers and storms scattered across the state. This activity should decrease by early evening. Overnight temperatures will range from the upper 50s in western Nebraska to the mid 70s over northeast Oklahoma. A surface boundary will extend across northern Nebraska and northeastern Colorado. Scattered thunderstorms will occur in the vicinity of the front tonight. There is a risk of a few severe storms. Heat builds in for Saturday afternoon. Highest temperatures will reach the upper 90s to the century mark especially across central and south central Kansas. A surface boundary is expected to arrive across north central Kansas by early afternoon and provide some relief in the heat so that the highs there may reach the low to mid 90s. It will be a bit breezy with winds sustained at 12 to 20 mph and gusts near 30 mph. As the surface boundary slides across the area, scattered afternoon storms are expected to develop with the possibility of them becoming strong to severe across eastern Kansas. $$
