Afternoon temperatures were in the upper 90s and low 100s with sunny skies. Scattered showers and storms will develop and affect eastern Colorado and parts of northwest Kansas tonight. The showers and storms will track slowly northeast overnight along a weak stalled out frontal boundary over south central Nebraska. Meanwhile the rest of the region will remain dry during the night as upper level high pressure stays in control over the region. Overnight lows will range from the low 60s in western Nebraska to the mid 70s in south central Kansas, and central Oklahoma. Upper level high pressure will stay in control over the region for Tuesday keeping the heat dome in place. Meanwhile, a weak stalled out frontal boundary will lift gradually northward on Tuesday, and push into north central Nebraska. This will allow the hotter temperatures to expand a bit further northward across the Heartland. Daytime highs will range from the 80s in the Nebraska panhandle north of the frontal boundary, to the hot upper 90s and triple digits south of the front over Kansas and Oklahoma. $$
