.SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 307 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025

Showers are currently ongoing over southeast KS and southwest MO
but there hasn`t been any lightning associated with this
activity. These showers have been initiated due to the 500mb
shortwave moving through the area within the upper level blocking
pattern. Rain will slowly push east later today with
intermittent rain chances lingering through the day. No severe
weather is expected and no all day washouts are expected either.
Though, there may be a few rumbles of thunder later this
afternoon. Rainfall amounts will stay around 0.5" or less and
stay mostly west of Highway 65. Highs will be in the upper 70s
to mid 80s today with mostly cloudy skies. Lows tonight will be
in the upper 50s to lower 60s with clouds sticking around
through the night. Winds will be out of the east-southeast
through the day up to 5-10 mph.

Tuesday will feature another shortwave with a 20-30% chance for
rain especially for areas south of I-44. Again, no all day
washouts are expected with rainfall amounts less than 0.25".
Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy with highs in the upper
70s to mid 80s. Winds will turn out of the northeast tomorrow
but remain light around 5-10 mph.
