The atmosphere will certainly turn up the heat this weekend, so much in fact, that after seeing the mercury soar into the 80s this afternoon, record highs are likely for many areas on Sunday. The greatest potential for record-setting heat would be across South-Central Kansas. For the upcoming work-week, a few thunderstorms are scheduled to arrive Wednesday Afternoon over primarily South-Central Kansas. The chances should increase considerably Thursday Afternoon & Night as a slow southeast-moving cold front approaches Central Kansas. With the cold front making slow southeast progress the potential for heavy rains exists Thursday Night in the areas indicated. The latter part of the upcoming work-week will likely draw the greatest attention over the next 4-5 days.
