PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCE BRINGING DEEPER MIXING WITH HOT CONDITIONS
PERSISTING ACROSS THE AREA. ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS MAY SWEEP
EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN KS LATE TONIGHT BRINGING SOME LOW POPS TO
AREAS ALONG AND MAINLY NORTH OF I-70. HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THIS WEEKEND AS WE REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE MID/UPPER RIDGE WITH HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE 100-104 DEGREE
RANGE.

REGION AS WE MOVE INTO NEXT WEEK AND POSSIBLY INTO THE FOLLOWING
