WV imagery indicates an upper level ridge axis extending northeast
from the Desert Southwest into the Western High Plains. Near the
surface, a weak area of low pressure is situated across extreme
southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles.
Dry and very warm conditions are forecast early in the period as the
SREF shows ridging aloft continuing to amplify northeast through the
high plains of eastern Colorado/western Kansas tonight with the
ridge axis then shifting eastward into the Central Plains Friday.
Considering a fairly weak flow aloft combined with very little
instability present, precip chances will remain absent across
southwest/central Kansas through Saturday night.
A trend of unseasonably warm temperatures will continue tonight and
Saturday with little change to the general air mass across western
Kansas. With the HREF indicating a 60 to 80% probability of
temperatures dropping below 60F in west central Kansas and much of
southwest Kansas to a 60 to 80% probability of temperatures slipping
below 65F in south central Kansas, expect lows mainly in the 50s(F)
out west to the lower 60s(F) east. For Friday, the HREF paints a
70 to 90% probability of temperatures exceeding 85F in south central
Kansas to that same probability of temperatures topping 90F in extreme
southwest Kansas. So look for widespread afternoon highs pushing the
upper 80s(F) to 90F. Similar temperatures are expected Saturday.
