Here is a weather briefing for mid-america.
A CLEAR SKY PREVAILED ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF KANSAS THROUGHOUT 

MUCH OF THE NIGHT.  HOWEVER JUST BEFORE DAWN...CLOUDS WERE BEGINNING 

TO FORM ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS.  PRE-DAWN TEMPERATURES RANGED 

FROM THE MID 50S AT TOPEKA TO THE MID 60S AT ARKANSAS CITY.  WINDS 

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 

THE MIDDLE AMERICA CAN EXPECT HIGHS TODAY IN THE 80S.  



TONIGHT A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTH OUT OF MONTANA AND 

THE DAKOTAS...AND INTO NEBRASKA EARLY THIS EVENING. THE FRONT IS 

EXPECTED TO BEGIN PUSHING INTO KANSAS LATE THIS EVENING...AND REACH 

THE KANSAS-OKLAHOMA BORDER BY THURSDAY MORNING.  SHOWERS AND 

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT 

TONIGHT ACROSS IOWA...SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA...PORTIONS OF EASTERN 

KANSAS AND ALL OF MISSOURI.  LOWS TONIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT WILL FALL 

INTO THE LOWER 50S, WHILE AREAS SOUTH AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT 

REMAIN IN THE 60S.
