Changing pattern this week

Welcome to June and the start of meteorological summer. The pattern this week is going to be different compared to anything that we've seen recently. Our wet and stormy May scenario was caused by storm system after storm system that was coming in from the southwest. This week, high pressure will build up over Texas, which will give them a break from massive flooding. As the high intensifies, the storm track gets shoved farther north. This is typical heading into summer and comes at the right time to start allowing fields to dry out in preparation for wheat harvest, which is only a few weeks away for some. 
There is some concern that storms that develop in eastern Colorado and Nebraska will drift down into central and northern Kansas Wednesday night - Friday. There is a chance some of the storms could be severe, but this doesn't look like a widespread severe setup.
