Hot hot - for how long?

If you picked up some rain Thursday or Friday, you have to count your blessings on this one because many areas were missed, or didn't get enough to do much of any good.

Friday morning storms dumped these rainfall amounts:

A weekend cold front will sweep through the area Saturday afternoon and briefly lower the humidity. I think Sunday will feel pretty good around here even though most of us will still hit 90+.
There will be some thunderstorms (isolated most likely) for western Kansas Sunday evening. These storms could develop in an area that starts to see the humidity increasing at the end of the weekend. It's expected they will move south/southeast.

Next week just looks hot, but not without some brief breaks mixed in. Temperatures will be climbing on Monday, but Tuesday still looks like the scorcher. Many areas will see 100℉+, so please plan ahead, especially for those without AC.

A cold front enters the picture Tuesday night and Wednesday, which may help out. Latest models are hinting at some thunderstorm potential for western and northern Kansas if the heat can break down long enough to allow them to form. If the storms do form, it will help to shove the cold front to southern Kansas and it may not be so bad around here Wednesday. Stay tuned.

Unfortunately, the overall long term pattern is not favorable for a substantial change anytime soon. The upper high pressure is going to position over the central Plains for awhile, and may wobble east or west later in the month. But I don't see a hope of it breaking down yet.

So late July temperatures (compared to average) all look above normal.

And your rainfall map looks like this for late July:

Have a good one!
