DISCUSSION

Issued at 1111 PM CDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Today will be fairly hot with highs in the 90s for much of the area. Low 100s will be likely near the Oklahoma border. Otherwise, a frontal boundary will move across the region during the afternoon with a weak wind shift associated with it. There is a chance of storms along this boundary across south central Kansas during the evening. However... much of the FA will remain storm free for Wednesday. Will have to watch to see if any of the storms could end up strong or even perhaps low end severe across the far southeast counties. Again... 90% of the the FA will be dry. Lows tonight will be very mild with 60s across the northwest zones and warm 70s across the rest of the FA.

A cold front will move across the state Thursday. This will result in temperatures returning back to near normal with values in the upper 80s to around 90F. This boundary will return back as a warm front on Saturday. The warm sector will be firmly in place and highs for the beginning of the weekend will be hot with values in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Eventually this boundary will sink southward again Sunday with highs actually pleasant (70s and 80s). There will be a chance of storms along the front for Saturday evening into Sunday morning.

The periodic bouts of showers and thunderstorms will continue into Monday as well as upslope flow pattern continues across the state. Highs will continue to remain pleasant with values peaking mainly in the 70s. Lows will be mainly in the 50s. By Tuesday, drier air is expected to advect in from the north. This will result in a drier forecast and temperatures trending warmer. 90s are likely by midweek.
