This gradient is due in part to a cold front pushing across the state at this hour. Thunderstorms, some of which may become severe, are expected along and southeast of the Kansas Turnpike this afternoon and evening. Showers and storms should push eastward into Missouri and Arkansas overnight with low temperatures dipping into the low 50s across northwest Kansas and nearing 70 degrees across southeast Kansas. Unfortunately another hot and humid day is in store for Friday with much of the state surging into the 90s. Areas along the Oklahoma border will approach 100 degrees once again. Showers and storms are possible late tomorrow afternoon and evening across central and southern Kansas. $$
