As for today...this will almost certainly be the coolest day of the month...with highs only in the 60s most places...although parts of north central Kansas could manage the lower 70s. Precipitation-wise...the best way to put it is that although any given place in our area will be dry the majority of the time...at least brief...passing showers or thunderstorms just cannot be ruled out through tonight at any given location. Fortunately...severe storms are unlikely...but especially overnight tonight a few storms with small hail potential appear possible. Rainfall-wise...the majority of our coverage area is expected to see no more than an additional ten hundredths to perhaps one-half inch of rain through tonight...meaning that as usual...two-day rainfall totals will end up being highly variable across our area when including what fell on Tuesday. Briefly turning to Thursday and Friday...the biggest story is that more summer-like temperatures will make a return...with highs right back into the 80s most places on Thursday...and then upper 80s to lower 90s Friday. While at least spotty thunderstorm activity cannot be ruled out at various points Thursday into Friday...especially within Nebraska counties north of Interstate 80...odds strongly favor the vast majority of this time frame being dry. Lastly...breezy to somewhat windy conditions will also return by the end of the week...with southerly winds on Friday commonly gusting 30 to 35 MPH. $$
