The Heat Advisory is valid through Saturday evening. Heat Index values are expected to be between 100 and 105 with warm overnight lows.
A slow-moving system will bring chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms late Saturday night through Monday. Rainfall totals will vary locally, but the best chances for getting an inch of rain look to be north of the I-44 corridor.
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.
