It was another hot and humid day across the Central Plains today
with afternoon heat indices observed in the 100s and even as high as
110 in portions of Oklahoma. Breezy south and southeast winds were
observed throughout Kansas and Oklahoma, with gusts up to 30 mph
observed in parts of central Kansas. Showers and thunderstorms were
noted over Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma, with the strongest
activity located in north central Kansas as of this afternoon.
Strong winds and up to golf ball sized hail have been reported in
a few of these storms, along with locally heavy rainfall.

Chances for showers and storms will continue overnight in northern
Kansas and Nebraska as activity slowly moves to the east. The
primary threats with the strongest storms will be strong winds and
locally heavy rainfall, with the severe hail threat diminishing
throughout the night. Low temperatures are forecast to range from
the 60s across the High Plains of Nebraska and Colorado to the 70s
across central Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Gusty south winds
up to 25 mph will continue to be possible across southwest Kansas
and western Oklahoma.

The streak of hot weather is anticipated to continue into Tuesday,
with afternoon high temperatures forecast in the middle 90s to low
100s from South Dakota to the Red River Valley. Unlike the past
several days, heat indices are expected to largely remain around 100
degrees or just above. Breezy south winds are once again anticipated
during the afternoon hours, with gusts up to 25 to 30 mph possible
across western Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Even stronger gusts
up to 40 mph will be possible across southwest Kansas. Limited
shower and storm potential is forecast, with low chances entering
far western Kansas by early evening.
