- HOT AND DRY FOR DAYS
DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1111 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
NOT MUCH TO DISCUSS AS HOT AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL
DAYS. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF STORMS ALONG THE COLORADO BORDER
TUESDAY EVENING, HOWEVER, A MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT ALL THE
CONVECTION WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE FA. OTHERWISE, THE LONG AND SHORT
OF THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS THAT A LARGE AND STRONG MID LEVEL ANTICYCLONE
WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL ACROSS THE GREATER REGION THROUGH THE ENTIRE
WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP THE HOT AND DRY WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUE ACROSS
SOUTHWEST KANSAS. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH IN THIS STAGNANT
WEATHER PATTERN. HIGHS WILL PEAK EACH DAY IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER
100S. LOWS WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 60S TO UPPER 70S. SOUTH-CENTRAL
KANSAS WILL SEE AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES IN THE LOW 100S. WILL HAVE
TO WATCH EACH DAY IF IT COULD MAKE TO ADVISORY CRITERIA. RIGHT NOW,
IT LOOKS LESS LIKELY, PERHAPS WITH THE EXCEPTION ON THURSDAY. LASTLY,
NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER DAYS ARE EXPECTED AS BOTH AFTERNOON RELATIVE
HUMIDITY AND AFTERNOON WINDS WILL BE ON THE MARGINAL SIDE.
