A break from the winds before storms arrive Monday evening
What We’re Tracking
- Winds tapper down
- Slight Cool Down
- Storm Chances This Week
All of northeastern Kansas has been battling intense heat this weekend. Fortunately, the heat advisory will expire this evening at 9 p.m. However, don’t expect much relief, temperatures will still climb into the low to mid-90s by Monday afternoon.
The wind advisory will also expire tonight. After a breezy weekend with gusts near 40 mph, winds will gradually taper off, with gusts dropping to around 20 mph heading into Monday afternoon.
We will remain mostly clear tonight, though a few clouds will begin to filter in early Monday ahead of our next round of rain. Rain and storm chances return Monday evening after about 5pm and will linger into Tuesday morning.
Portions of central Kansas and the northern counties of northeastern Kansas are under a slight risk for severe weather. The main threats include damaging winds and small hail, but heavy downpours appear to be the greatest concern, with localized flooding possible. Storms are expected to weaken as they move farther east.
A few showers or storms may linger into Tuesday, but despite the rain, temperatures will remain hot, continuing in the low 90s through much of the week.
