KEY MESSAGES

- Periodic chances for showers and storms remains in the forecast late tonight through Sunday morning. A few strong or marginally severe storms are possible with large hail and damaging wind gusts possible.

- The heat makes a brief return Sunday and Monday with highs in the mid to upper 90s, and heat indices over 100 during the afternoon hours.

- Storm chances return for next week. While details are subject to change, a few rounds of showers and storms are possible Monday through Thursday.

..MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

The forecast for next week generally remains on track as of now. Mid- range guidance continues to show a more robust trough digging into the Rockies and Great Plains by the beginning of the work week next week which could potentially lead to another period of active weather. It's a bit too early to get into the finer details at time; however, it appears increasingly probable that a cold front will stall out across Kansas Monday night after another potentially hot day on Monday. This could lead to potentially several rounds of showers and storms through much of next week. Heavy amounts of rainfall don't appear to be on the table at this time. That being said, meaningful rainfall across drought stricken areas remains possible. In addition to the potential for rainfall, cooler temperatures are still forecast, though temperatures have trended slightly warmer than in previous forecasts. Still, a prolonged stretch of highs in the 80s will provide a much needed break from the heat.
