Warm Days, Cool Nights, Drier Air

VERY COMFORTABLE AFTERNOON:  A dry continental air mass continues to affect much of the state today, and we continue to enjoy sunshine in full force with lower humidity.  Temperatures are around seasonal averages,  mostly in the low 90s.  Tonight will be clear and pleasant with lows in 60-66 degree range by daybreak.

TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND:  Not much change in the overall weather pattern, as very dry air remains in place.  Sunny, warm days with fair and pleasant nights.  Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s, with lows mostly in the mid 60s. Cooler spots will enter the 50s chat each morning.

NEXT WEEK:  How many times must I say it, but the June weather pattern continues.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s for the foreseeable future as we see a slow rise in humidity levels.  Weather will continue to stay dry with only an occasional isolated shower.  

TROPICS:  A disorganized complex of showers located 200 miles east of the Windward Islands is associated with a tropical wave.  Significant development is not expected due to the unfavorable environment.  The rest of the Atlantic Basin remains quiet.

ON THIS DAY IN 1915:  The twister that hit near Mullinville, KS was a mile wide multi-vortex tornado that swept away an entire farm and threw a trio of mules a distance of two miles. However, the storm moved so slowly that people were able to get out of its way and there wasn't a single death or even an injury.
