.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1223 PM CDT Sat Jun 6 2026

An upper level low currently over Oklahoma will continue to trek
northward into the area this evening. Showers and a few
thunderstorms are expected across south central Kansas this
afternoon into this evening, otherwise expect mostly cloudy skies
through tonight. Clearing is then expected tomorrow as upper level
ridging builds over the Plains. Mid to upper level cloudiness then
increases tomorrow night with dry conditions at the surface. Winds
will generally be form the south to southeast through this period.
As for temperatures, highs this afternoon look to only reach into
the 80s due to the abundant cloud cover with lows tonight in the mid
50s west to mid 60s east. Highs tomorrow will reach into the upper
80s with 90s expected across far southwestern Kansas and along the
KS/OK border. Lows tomorrow night will generally dip into the 60s.

An upper level trough will dig into the western United States
through the remainder of the forecast with ridging to the east. THis
will place southwest Kansas under southwest flow aloft. A warming
trend is expected early next week with highs in the 90s Monday and
around 100 degrees Tuesday and Wednesday. Dry conditions are
expected for a majority of this time but a stray thunderstorm or two
can not be ruled out during peak heating. Warm conditions continue
for the remainder of the forecast with highs in the 90s.
