CENTRAL PLAINS TODAY...

THE FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK FOR A COMPACT FRONTAL SYSTEM IN THE  
HIGH PLAINS TO DRIVE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE HEARTLAND  
TODAY, SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER  
CONTINUES TO MONITOR WEST-CENTRAL KANSAS AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF  
NEBRASKA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS FOR THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF  
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, AND PERHAPS A TORNADO THIS  
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  
 
OTHERWISE, THE PATTERN OVER MUCH OF THE CONUS SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY  
TRANQUIL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. COOL, UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL  
LINGER ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT  
WEAKENS OVERHEAD BEFORE CONDITIONS IMPROVE TOMORROW. ACROSS THE  
CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S., WELL ABOVE-AVERAGE TEMPERATURES IN THE  
70S AND 80S WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK, WHICH COULD TOPPLE A  
HANDFUL OF DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDS EACH DAY.
