Heat Advisory through Saturday

Cooler Conditions are on the Way

Drought Monitor

The Heat Advisory is valid through Saturday evening. Heat Index values are expected to be between 100 and 105 with warm overnight lows.

Cooler conditions with scattered rain chances arrive early next week! There are still some questions on exactly how much cooler temperatures will get, so stay tuned to the forecast as we head into the weekend.

The persistent hot conditions combined with a lack of widespread, meaningful rainfall have resulted in worsening drought conditions across southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks.
