.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 119 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2026

An upper level ridge will move over the Plains through tomorrow with
an trough of low pressure building over the western United States.
Western Kansas will be under southwest flow aloft with a few
shortwaves moving around this trough and into the Plains Monday and
Tuesday afternoons. Closer to the surface, skies will be mostly
clear this evening into the first part of overnight. Some low clouds
may form by sunrise tomorrow but quickly dissipate by mid morning.
Southerly winds are expected tonight and become light tomorrow as an
area of low pressure moves over the area. Winds then shift back to a
southerly direction tomorrow night and become breezy Tuesday. A few
thunderstorms may form during peak heating Monday and Tuesday
afternoon/evening but with little shear in the atmosphere the
chances of these storms becoming severe is low. The main concern
with this forecast will be the temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday.
Highs this afternoon look to reaching to the upper 80s with lows
tonight in the 60s. Highs tomorrow look to reach into the mid to
upper 90s with around 100 degrees along the KS/OK border. Warm
temperatures continue Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the upper
90s to low 100s. Highs in the 90s are expected during the remainder
of the forecast. Precipitation chances decrease mid week then
increase across central Kansas late week into this weekend.

CIGS will gradually improve to MVFR by 15-17z. Winds will
