Storm chances continue & a fall preview arriving



A big but brief shift in the weather pattern will result in some autumn like temperatures for the middle of the week. We have just over a month to go before fall arrives (according to the calendar), but we are already seeing pumpkins in local stores and in the next few weeks, even some chrysanthemums will probably show up too. So what's going on this week?
Low pressure passing through the northern Plains is sending cooler air south
A storm system racing across the northern Plains is pushing some cool, Canadian air south. As the change takes place, we have a potential for some severe storms. The potential Monday evening/night will be over western Kansas, and then shift east with the cold front on Tuesday.
Monday severe weather risk
Temperatures will fall some 15 degrees cooler than normal by Wednesday. Highs in the 70s will be common with lower humidity. And there could be some low temperatures in northwest Kansas falling into the 40s for Wednesday and Thursday morning. It won't last long though. As we approach the end of the week, temperatures will be climbing once again with highs rebounding to near 90.
