Blow torch start to June - will it change?

Just over a week into June and lets face it... this feels like the middle of July. We are getting some temporary relief from a cold front racing through here today (Tuesday) and should have some decent weather again Wednesday (at least closer to normal anyway).

The first week of June has had temperatures that look like this for Wichita and Dodge City (respectively):


Rainfall tracking across Kansas will be around until early Wednesday. Most areas are going to get less than .50", but know there will be some closer to the Nebraska state line ending up with more. Even though harvest is coming, I've already heard from a few farmers saying let it rain, even if it forces them out of the field for now.

Here's what is looming in week 3 - it's more heat and sunshine.

The deep low pressure system out in the West is going to help pump the heat across the Plains. So we may have to suffer through another hot week next week. Temperatures will likely end up between 95-100.

Father's Day weekend and beyond:
TEMPERATURES (JUNE 22-27)


I think we will see a decent cool down happening throughout the middle of the country. A return to some typical June weather will likely take place with highs getting back to the 80s. And there's a decent chance we will get some rain coming back through the area. Take a look at the map below. That is showing much of the central Plains may see above normal moisture (for the period of June 22-27) - which could translate to about an inch or so of rain. Remember, this isn't a guarantee, but I'm trying to show you what we are looking at in the weather center.
RAINFALL (COMPARED TO NORMAL - JUNE 22-30)

Have a great day and try not to get carried off by the wind.
