Here is a weather briefing for mid-america.
PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WERE SEEN OVER SOUTHEASTERN 

KANSAS THIS MORNING. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES VARIED FROM THE LOWER 

70S OVER SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS TO THE MID 50S OVER CENTRAL KANSAS. 

WINDS OVER SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS PREVAILED FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 

SPEEDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH.



A STRONG SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CAUSED AREAS 

OF THUNDERSTORMS AND RAINSHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF 

MIDDLE AMERICA. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SECTIONS OF 

COLORADO...NEBRASKA AND IOWA WERE SEVERE WITH REPORTS OF STORMS 

SPAWNING TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF NEBRASKA AND COLORADO...AS WELL AS 

PRODUCING LARGE HAIL.



AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS ITS TRANSITION OUT OF THE CENTRAL 

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 

HIGHS FORECAST TO BE IN THE 50S OVER NORTHERN NEBRASKA AND IOWA. 

WINDS AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH...ALLOWING FOR 

WARM MOIST AIR TO CONTINUE TO FLOW INTO SECTIONS OF THE 

HEARTLAND...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S EXPECTED OVER SOUTHERN 

ARKANSAS...SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AS WELL AS SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS. LOWS 

WILL RANGE FROM THE 30S OVER NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA...NORTHERN IOWA 

AND NORTHWESTERN KANSAS TO THE WARMER 70S OVER SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA 

AND ARKANSAS.
