Overall a dry, sunny, hot stretch of weather Friday through the weekend! As the upper ridge breaks down, storm risks gradually pick up next week. Our weeks 1 and 2 precipitation is shown below. Drier than normal week 1 across the region (especially Kansas). Note we return to a more active pattern week 2….it’s closer to “normal” for Kansas while Nebraska will be more likely to receive above normal precipitation.
