SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.  
HOWEVER...WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS...AFTERNOON HIGHS WERE QUITE 
WARM DESPITE THE CLOUD COVER.  TEMPERATURES TOPPED OUT IN THE UPPER 
70S AND LOW 80S.

AN ACTIVE WEATHER WEEKEND WILL BEGIN TONIGHT ACROSS THE REGION.  A 
SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE 
ROCKIES TONIGHT.  THIS WILL FIRE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 
ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS FRIDAY EVENING.  IN ADDITION...A 
STATIONARY BOUNDARY MAY PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY 
TO ERUPT OVER THE MID MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY AS GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS 
PROVIDE SOME LIFT FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP.  IN ADDITION...IF THE 
STORMS ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS ORGANIZE INTO A CLUSTER...THEY 
MAY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE MID MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY BY THE EARLY 
MORNING HOURS.  OTHERWISE...OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE QUITE MILD WITH 
TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S AND 60S FOR MOST OF THE REGION.  OKLAHOMA 
WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER IN THE 70S.
[.]
A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY STATIONARY OVER THE 
ROCKY MOUNTAINS ON SATURDAY.  HOWEVER...WAVES OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE AROUND 
THE TROUGH AND BRING THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO 
THE REGION ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  WITH THE ABUNDANT 
MOISTURE IN PLACE...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD ONCE AGAIN 
BE POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF NEBRASKA...KANSAS...AND OKLAHOMA.  THE 
GREATEST THREAT WILL BE OVER KANSAS AND NEBRASKA AS A WARM AND COLD 
FRONT SCRAPE OVER THE AREA.  LOOK FOR HIGHS TO TOP OUT IN THE 70S 
AND 80S UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
