DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1111 AM CDT MON AUG 31 2026
NOT MUCH TO DISCUSS AS HOT AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE FOR
SEVERALDAYS. 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.
