Good Sunday, folks. We are ready to light a little fire under your thermometer in the coming days. A prolonged stretch of summer air is on the way for the first full week of May. This can only mean one thing… the complaint department will be filled with people complaining about it being too hot. 🙂

Today will feature temps taking off into the middle and upper 70s. Some low 80s will be possible in the west and far south. We do have a weak front approaching from the northwest, but this will never make it through the state. It will close enough to fire up a few showers and thunderstorms later Sunday… especially in the north.

Follow the temps and any storm that goes up…

The pattern early in the week finds summer in the plains states and expanding into our region. That settles in by the middle of the week…

Highs in the 80s will be common for the upcoming week and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some mid to upper 80s on any one day.

A cold front will then work toward the area by Friday and bring showers and storms to the region…

The threat for thunderstorms looks to carry us through next weekend.

Have a stupendous Sunday and take care.
