DISCUSSION
PARTS OF NORTHERN KS MAY SEE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COME OUT OF
SOUTHERN NEBRASKA THIS MORNING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LINGER
INTO THE AFTERNOON. FURTHER SOUTH, DRIER CONDITIONS WITH MORE
SUNSHINE LEAD TO WARMER TEMPERATURES INTO THE 90S. WHERE DEEPER
MIXING AND WARMER TEMPERATURES OCCUR, LOWER RH BELOW 50% IS
EXPECTED, BUT HIGHER RH CAN BE EXPECTED FOR AREAS THAT SEE MORE
CLOUD COVER AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. WINDS PICK UP FROM THE SOUTH
TODAY AROUND 5-15MPH BEFORE EVENTUALLY TURNING TO THE ENE THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT BEHIND A COLD FRONT. THIS BRINGS A BETTER
CHANCE FOR STORMS TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. A FEW
ADDITIONAL, BUT LOW, RAIN CHANCES COME WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN
LATER IN THE WEEK.
