Good evening bloggers! The comments on the blog are turned off and will be for a while, feel free to email me if you have a weather question.
Last night's storms produced heavy downpours, strong winds, and vivid lighting. Shane Kirk caught this picture of lightning near La Cygne, KS. Shane was close to Adrian when he got the picture. The storm fizzled before reaching him. Awesome shot!
Outside of an isolated shower or storm before midnight, most areas should stay dry this evening. The chance of a t-storm is really under 10%. The focus for Friday will be the extreme heat with highs in the mid-90s and dew points in the mid to maybe upper 70s!
Below is the NAM dew point forecast map for Friday. The high heat and humidity will produce heat indices in the 105-110 range once again.
The heat should finally break late Saturday when a cold front pushes through the region. This front will drop dew points back into the low 60s and daytime highs into the 80s. A little more typical for this time of year. The cold front, depending on its timing, could spark a few showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon or evening. We'll iron out the timing of the front on Friday.
Have a great night and thank you for stopping by the weather blog!
