Few morning showers north, heating up in the afternoon

What We’re Tracking

• Drying out into midweek
• Hot weather continues
• Weak front Thursday

A few showers are pushing across northeast Kansas this morning. These could linger into later morning hours, especially for folks north of I-70. If so, this could limit your high temperatures in those spots.

We're all expected to dry out as we head into the afternoon, but dewpoints will still give us that muggy heat. The combination of heat and humidity during the early part of this week makes heat indices 105+ degrees possible. Once the dry time begins, temperatures begin to soar into the upper 90s and lower 100s. Past midweek, dewpoints drop into the lower 60s making it more of a dry heat and not so much of a muggy heat. Remember to limit time outdoors, find shade if possible, and hydrated.

Our next chance of any sort of "cool down" comes Thursday and Friday as a weak frontal boundary brings cloud cover and rain chances back to the area. The combination of all three of those can help relieve northeastern Kansas of extreme temperatures until this weekend where we're expecting temperatures to reach the lower 100s.
