.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 228 AM CDT Fri Jul 29 2016

Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this morning mainly east
of Highway 83 with the best chance across eastern portions of our
CWA. Otherwise expect partly to mostly cloudy skies and continued
easterly winds through tonight. Thunderstorm chances continue
across eastern portions of our CWA tomorrow night. Otherwise
expect clearing in the west with continued partly to mostly cloudy
skies in the east. Winds tonight look to shift to more of a
southeasterly direction. As for temperatures, highs today look to
only reach into the low to mid 80s with lows tonight falling into
the mid to upper 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 228 AM CDT Fri Jul 29 2016

A chance of thunderstorms will continue across central Kansas
Saturday with partly cloudy skies expected elsewhere. A drier
weather pattern emerges Sunday into the early part of next week as
the upper level high shifts more north and eastward towards the
Plains. Winds shift to more of a southerly direction this weekend
into early parts of next week as a trough of low pressure develops
across eastern Colorado. Precipitation chances then look to
increase towards the later part of next week as the upper level
high shifts back west placing the Central High Plains under
northwest flow aloft. A series of disturbances moving down through
this flow may move into the area. As for temperatures, highs creep
up from around 90 degrees Saturday into the upper 90s by late
weekend into the early part of next week. Highs then decrease to
the low to mid 90s by the late part of next week. Lows look to
generally be around 70 degrees.
