Are we done with 100s?

Hopefully you had a great weekend, even though it was still pretty miserable at the beginning with excessive heat. But it's a very different weather story this week and one that should be enjoyable. Just check this out:

We reference dew points on TV from time to time, and it's a number that is simply a measure of how much moisture is in the air. When it's above 70 (like it was last week), it's not very pleasant to say the least.

This week, just look at the drier air coming in from the north. This is air that comes straight out of Canada, so if you've ever wondered what it might feel like farther north, well you don't even have to leave Kansas to find out.

The downside to the forecast this week is that there won't be any rain (for those who have been emailing me asking for it). The dry air that settles in this week feels good, but it also takes away our chances for getting any decent precipitation.

Are we done with 100s:
Definitely not! We will see more high heat heading into early August but a lengthy stretch of 100s is not that likely next month. The high pressure that is currently over Arizona (this week) should start moving back toward the Plains around the 31st/Aug. 1st. That will lead to some hotter weather for a few days.

However, if we look a bit farther out, there are suggestions that we will cool down again around the first weekend in August and maybe during the first full week of the month. We will see.

Rain chances are spotty at best right now. On Tuesday, I'll dive into more detail on rain chances as we move through the next couple of weeks. It doesn't look very promising at this point.
