Warmer air returning; storms end midweek

Key takeaways for the next few days:

• Scattered storms will end after Wednesday morning
• More late summer heat building back in
• Gusty winds kick in Friday/Saturday
• Changes arrive this weekend

Overnight - Scattered storms will remain possible over most of Kansas, but it is less likely in northwest Kansas. Severe weather is unlikely with most storms that develop.

Wednesday - Morning showers and storms in central Kansas will end with decreasing clouds by afternoon. Highs will be a mix of 80s (north) and low to mid 90s farther south.

Late week- Stronger south winds kick in with highs mainly in the 90s. It will stay hot Thursday and Friday, but a weekend cold front is on the way, which should bring the scattered storm chances back to the area.
