.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 103 PM CDT Sun Aug 30 2026

Hot conditions are expected throughout the forecast with highs in the
upper 90s to low 100s each day and upper 60s to upper 70s each
night. There will be a persistent trough of low pressure across
portions of western Kansas throughout the forecast in which a few
thunderstorms may form along during peak heating. Otherwise expect
dry conditions with winds from a southerly direction ahead of this
trough and east to northeast winds north of this trough. Apparent
temperatures look to reach towards 105 degrees this afternoon but
have decided with neighboring CWAs to not issue a heat advisory at
this time. In addition, low RHs and breezy conditions look to
elevate fire weather risk this afternoon across central Kansas where
winds are stronger.
