.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 206 PM CDT Fri Sep 4 2026

Overall pattern remains fairly unchanged with upper troughing over
the Pacific Northwest and upper ridging from the Southern Plains
through the southeastern US. Meanwhile, what is left of Edouard is
still circulating over southeast TX.

Still looking for the upper ridge to amplify through the Plains for
the weekend with upper low remaining over the Pacific
Northwest. This will keep highs around 100 through the weekend.
There are a couple model solutions trying to lift some monsoonal
energy across the Southern Rockies and into northern KS for Sun
into Sun night. The GFS is currently the most agressive with
this scenario. For now will leave mention out but will be
something to keep an eye on.

Still looking for the shortwave over the Pacific Northwest to start
to lift out Mon and by Tue afternoon will be situated over Southern
SK/MB. This will push a cold front through the Northern and Central
Plains and looks to get hung-up over northern/central KS for Tue
afternoon through Thu morning and may bring some small
shower/storm chances, with central KS having the better chances.
Ahead of the front, highs on Tue still look to be some of the
hottest through this forecast package. There is also a chance
that the front could bring some slight relief to at least
central KS, knocking highs down into the 90s.
