Finally Friday & potential for weekend storms

We've made it to the weekend and it's going to be a hot one across most of the state. No big surprise considering we are just about to the hottest point of the year (on average) and most of us will see highs in the 95-100 range. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated this weekend and check on those without air conditioning. Most of us will have dry weather to begin the weekend, but it won't be that way for the entire Saturday/Sunday timeframe. A slow moving front will be pushing south, and as the temperatures begin to back down some by Sunday, chances for storms will be increasing.

The highest likelihood of storms for tonight (Friday) will be across eastern Colorado into southwest Nebraska. Some parts of far northwest Kansas may have a few storms.
Saturday nights storms will include more of northern Kansas, with the best chance along the Nebraska state line out into Colorado once again.

That area of showers and storms will slide farther south on Sunday as the heat begins easing. I'm expecting more clouds around Sunday with less wind, and it really should turn out to be a nice end to the weekend.

Next week is still looking MUCH cooler. Highs in the 70s with some potential for rain Monday - Monday night. We will be focusing on that next week in the blog and on air. Have a terrific and safe weekend!
