Would you order up another summer like the one we are having now? It's not uncommon to have some cooler "days" in summer, but weeks of it? We had that big cool spell in late July and it carried over into August. A few hot days sprinkled in from time to time, but next week looks more like late September or early October. The humidity is going to drop, which suggests it will be even more comfortable. Call your boss and take next week off. 😉
While we enjoy the cool weather, the pattern is going to be unforgiving for fire fighters in the west. Right under the dome of "high" pressure, more hot, windy, and dry weather is likely. Most areas east of the Rockies will be in a position to have cooler than normal weather.
Rainfall update:
Here's a preview of how much rain some areas could get next week:
There will be chances for at least some showers in western Kansas during our third full week of the month. Getting out of drought takes time and we have peeled back some of the worst of the conditions, but still have a ways to go.
Are we slipping right into fall now?
Well, not exactly. However, threats of triple digit heat look like they will be behind us. The upper high pressure (which is where the major heat will be) continues to show signs of hanging out to our west, which could get us to early September without major heat. It becomes more and more unlikely to have 100s once September rolls around. 
Have a great day.
