Approaching the end of unseasonal heat
Cooler weather in the week ahead
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Another hot day is in the forecast, pretty much identical to what we saw yesterday - Highs in the lower to middle 90s, low humidity, and plenty of sunshine.
Monday as well should continue this trend, it won’t be until Tuesday that the wheels start turning towards a different pattern.
Widespread rain will help keep temperatures below 90 Tuesday afternoon, and by the time it moves through, temperatures will be back down into the upper 70s to lower 80s.
Severe weather is unlikely to be associated with any of this rain, as much of the expected precipitation should form along a slow moving frontal boundary that provides less room/energy to allow for strong thunderstorm development.
By this time next week, high temperatures are forecast to be in the lower 70s, with lows in the middle 40s!
