SEVERE WEATHER IS LIKELY TO BE FOUND ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF 

MIDDLE AMERICA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. A STRONG COLD   

FRONT ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST...

REACHING CENTRAL IOWA...SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA AND CENTRAL KANSAS BY 

LATE AFTERNOON. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL ERUPT ALONG THIS BOUNDARY

AS IT ENCOUNTERS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIR. HEAVY RAINS WILL ALSO BE 

POSSIBLE...AS A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS POSTED FOR EAST CENTRAL IOWA.



BEFORE THE STORMS FORM...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST OVER 40 

MPH IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE STRONG WINDS HAVE PROMPTED WIND 

ADVISORIES TODAY ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS AS WELL AS

WESTERN MISSOURI.

STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA...THROUGH NORTH 

CENTRAL KANSAS...AND INTO THE PANHANDLE OF OKLAHOMA.  THIS FRONT 

WILL TRACK SLOWLY EAST TONIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY.  SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  EARLY IN THE 

EVENING...THERE WILL BE THE THREAT OF A FEW ISOLATED TORNADOES.  

HOWEVER...THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DEVELOP INTO A LINE OF SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS EVENING.  THIS MEANS THAT THE MAIN THREAT 

WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.  SEVERE 

THUNDERSTORM AND TORNADO WATCHES ARE ALREADY POSTED FOR MUCH OF THE 

REGION.  THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL 

WITH THIS SYSTEM.  A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS

VARIED FROM THE MID 50S TO MID 60S WITH LIGHT SOUTH WINDS.



A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY SOUTHEAST INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA 

TODAY. AS A RESULT...BREEZY SOUTH WINDS AND WARM TEMPERATURES WILL 

RETURN TO THE KANSAS REGION. THE SOUTH WINDS WILL TRANSPORT ABUNDANT 

MOISTURE INTO KANSAS...NEBRASKA AND IOWA. AS THE FRONT PLOWS INTO

THE WARM AND HUMID AIR...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO

A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHERN NEBRASKA LATE THIS 

AFTERNOON.  THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD TONIGHT...BRINGING A GOOD 

CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST OF MID AMERICA...WITH 

THE EXCEPTION OF ARKANSAS.  SOME OF THE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO 

BECOME SEVERE...WITH WIND DAMAGE AND LARGE HAIL THE PRIMARY THREAT.  

THERE WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL 

ACROSS PORTIONS OF KANSAS.  ON FRIDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL BECOME 

STALLED IN NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.  THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS...MUCH OF 

MISSOURI...OKLAHOMA...AND NORTHWESTERN ARKANSAS.

OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...HAVE DEVELOPED 

ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.



THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FURTHER SOUTH THIS 

MORNING...BRINGING AN INCREASE OF CLOUDS...AS WELL AS THE CHANCES OF 

RAINSHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST OF THE HEARTLAND.  LATER 

TODAY...THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO BECOME STATIONARY OVER SOUTHERN 

MISSOURI...THROUGH NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SHOWERS 

AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE...ACROSS SECTIONS OF KANZAZ...MUCH OF 

MISSOURI...PARTS OF OKLAHOMA...AND SECTIONS OF ARKANSAS. 

OTHERWISE...DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MOST OF IOWA AND NEBRASKA.



HIGHS TODAY CAN BE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE HOT AND HUMID 80S AND 

90S IN ARKANSAS...TO THE 70S AND 80S OVER MOST OF OKLAHOMA AND 

SECTIONS OF MISSOURI. 60S AND 70S WILL BE SEEN OVER SECTIONS OF 

KANZAZ...PARTS OF IOWA AND ACROSS NEBRASKA. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT

IN THE CENTRAL SECTIONS.  WINDS WERE GENERALLY OUT OF THE NORTHEAST 

BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MPH.



A STATIONARY FRONT WAS POSITIONED ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA LATE THIS 

AFTERNOON.  THIS FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN KANZAZ...SOUTHERN 

MISSOURI...MUCH OF OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS TONIGHT. ON SATURDAY...THE UNSETTLED 

WEATHER WILL CONTINUE...WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS 

ACROSS MUCH OF MID AMERICA. 



LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL MAINLY BE IN THE 50S AND 60S, WITH 

SOME 40S POSSIBLE IN PORTIONS OF NEBRASKA AND IOWA.  HIGHS ON 

SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S, WITH SOME LOW 

TO MID 80S POSSIBLE IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.


CLOUDY SKIES PREVAILED ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF KANSAS THROUGH THE 

AFTERNOON HOURS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALSO 

EXPERIENCED ACROSS SECTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTH EASTERN 

KANSAS. MID-DAY TEMPERATURE READINGS RANGED FROM THE MIDDLE 60S 

TO AROUND 70 DEGREES...WITH NORTHEAST WINDS AT SPEEDS FROM 5 TO 15 

MPH. 



A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT IS POSITIONED ACROSS CENTRAL 

OKLAHOMA...THROUGH NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI. 

THIS BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO SPARK THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS 

AND RAIN SHOWERS...AND HAS THUS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF FLASH FLOOD 

WATCHES OVER SECTIONS OF OKLAHOMA AND EXTREME NORTHERN ARKANSAS...AS 

WELL AS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI.



AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO INTERACT WITH THE WARM MOIST AIR FROM THE 

SOUTH...IT WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE MUCH OF MID AMERICA...WITH CHANCES OF 

RAINSHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. 



LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 40S AND 50S OVER SECTIONS 

OF NEBRASKA...IOWA AND PARTS OF KANSAS. WARMER CONDITIONS WILL BE 

FOUND FURTHER SOUTH...WITH LOWS IN THE 60S AND 70S OVER OKLAHOMA AND 

ARKANSAS. HIGH TEMPERATURES SUNDAY WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 

60S AND 70S, WITH 80S EXPECTED IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHERN 

ARKANSAS.

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILED ACROSS THE SUNFLOWER STATE THROUGHOUT 

THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...SECTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS SAW 

THE FORMATION OF LOCALLY DENSE FOG SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. RESIDENTS 

OF CHANUTE AND PARSONS SAW VISIBILITIES DROPPED TO A QUARTER MILE OR 

LESS. PRE-DAWN TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE MIDDLE 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH 

LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS UNDER 5 MPH. 



THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT BROUGHT KANSAS CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT 

WILL BEGIN TO MOVE TO THE EAST...AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS ALONG THE 

WESTERN HIGH PLAINS OF COLORADO. MEANWHILE...A WEAK DISTURBANCE IN 

THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES THIS 

AFTERNOON...YIELDING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER 

WESTERN NEBRASKA AND KANSAS. THESE STORMS WILL THEN MOVE TO THE EAST 

THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...BRINGING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS TO THE EASTERN HALF OF KANSAS AND NEBRASKA. 



AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO RANGE FROM THE 70S IN 

WESTERN NEBRASKA...TO NEAR 90 IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. OVERNIGHT LOWS 

WILL RANGE FROM THE 40S ACROSS SECTIONS OF NEBRASKA TO THE 60S 

ACROSS SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA.

A PARTLY CLOUDY SKY TRANSFORMED INTO A MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY ACROSS 

CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES RANGED 

FROM THE UPPER 70S ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS TO THE LOWER 80S 

EAST...ALONG WITH SOUTH WINDS AT 5 TO 10 MPH.



A STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN ARKANSAS INTO WESTERN 

KANSAS TRIGGERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THOSE AREAS. THIS 

ACTIVITY  WILL SPREAD INTO THE REMAINDER OF KANSAS DURING THE 

OVERNIGHT HOURS. IN ADDITION...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM 

WILL SPIN OFF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS 

THE HEARTLAND TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO HELP INITIATE SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE SEVERE. PRE-DAWN TEMPERATURES 

WILL RANGE FROM THE 40S IN THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...TO THE 60S 

ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS...TO THE MILD 70S ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS.



AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PUSH EASTWARD...IT WILL 

CONTINUE TO THREATEN THE MAJORITY OF MIDDLE AMERICA WITH THE CHANCE 

OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM 

NEAR 90 ACROSS ARKANSAS...TO THE 80S AND 70S ACROSS KANSAS...TO 

THE 60S ACROSS THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE.

SKIES WERE PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE EAST...AND MOSTLY SUNNY IN SOUTH 

CENTRAL AND CENTRAL KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS 

PREVAILED AT 15 TO 25 MPH...WITH TEMPERATURES VARYING FROM THE LOW 

70S EAST...TO THE MIDDLE 70S IN CENTRAL SECTIONS.



FOR TONIGHT...AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM...CURRENTLY MOVING INTO 

THE PLAINS...WILL INTERACT WITH ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE...TO SPARK 

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND INTO 

TONIGHT...ACROSS MOST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS. SOME STORMS THAT 

DEVELOP ALONG THE DRY LINE...ACROSS NEBRASKA...THROUGH KANSAS AND 

INTO OKLAHOMA...COULD BE SEVERE. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 40S 

ACROSS THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...TO THE 50S AND 60S ACROSS MOST OTHER 

LOCALES.



MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE HEARTLAND 

ON SUNDAY...AS THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SPINS OFF A FEW

PLAINS...IT WILL STILL CONTINUE TO BRING CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS 

AND RAINSHOWERS...TO SECTIONS OF MIDDLE AMERICA TODAY. AS HIGH 

PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN BEHIND THE LOW...WINDY CONDITIONS WILL 

OCCUR OVER MUCH OF THE HEARTLAND.  WINDS BEHIND THE SYSTEM WILL 

BE FROM THE NORTH...ALLOWING COOLER AIR TO FLOW INTO THE AREA...WITH

THE LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT CAN BE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE 40S 

TO 50S OVER MOST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS...WITH THE LONE EXCEPTION 

BEING SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WHICH WILL BE IN THE 60S. AS HIGH PRESSURE 

QUICKLY ADVECTS TO THE SOUTHEAST...WINDS OVER THE AREA WILL BECOME 

SOUTHERLY ALLOWING FOR WARM MOIST AIR TO SPREAD INTO THE

DEGREES AT CONCORDIA...TO 73 DEGREES AT COFFEYVILLE.



PARTLY CLOUDY TO CLOUDY SKIES AND THE CHANCE OF MORE RAINFALL IS IN 

THE FORECAST...AS MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM ALLISON BEGINS TO 

SPILL INTO SECTIONS OF THE HEARTLAND. IN ADDITION TO THE FRONTAL 

BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS MISSOURI AND KANSAS...UPPER LEVEL 

DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE REGION WILL TRIGGER SHOWER AND 

THUNDERSTORM FORMATION TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT ACROSS SECTIONS OF 

MID AMERICA...WITH SOME STORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS PRODUCING 

TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.

OVERNIGHT WERE GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AT LESS THAN 10 MPH... 

ALTHOUGH MANY LOCATIONS WERE CALM.



EARLY THIS MORNING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER EASTERN 

MISSOURI.  AS THE HIGH CONTINUES TO SLIDE OFF TO THE EAST... 

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE KANSAS REGION.  THE SOUTHERLY 

WINDS WILL HELP PUMP HOT TEMPERATURES BACK NORTH ACROSS OKLAHOMA... 

KANSAS...MUCH OF NEBRASKA AND PARTS OF MISSOURI...WHERE READINGS IN 

THE 90S ARE FORECAST FOR TODAY. FAR NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF

HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN MISSOURI...ALLOWED FOR SOUTHERLY WINDS TO 

BRING HOT TEMPERATURES BACK TO SECTIONS OF MIDDLE AMERICA TODAY. 

HOWEVER RELIEF IS IN SIGHT FOR PARTS OF THE HEARTLAND...AS A LOW 

PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN NEBRASKA WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE 

SOUTHEAST TONIGHT...AND ALLOW A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN NEBRASKA 

AND INTO NORTHEASTERN COLORADO...TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. SHOWERS 

AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE 

FRONT...OVER SECTIONS OF IOWA...EASTERN NEBRASKA...SECTIONS OF 

CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS...AND SECTIONS OF MISSOURI. FURTHER 

SOUTH...UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA
