The remainder of the overnight through tomorrow looks quiet with skies becoming mostly clear by sunrise tomorrow. Winds will generally be from the southeast through tonight becoming light and variable tomorrow morning. As for temperatures, lows tonight look to range from the low 60s across west central Kansas to low 70s across south central Kansas. Highs tomorrow are expected to reach into the low to mid 90s. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday) Issued at 135 PM CDT Mon Jul 8 2019 A summer like weather pattern emerges through the long term period as an upper level high builds over the Central and Southern Rockies.
