Temperatures will be ideal, and a far cry from the heat we’re dealing with right now. Right now, the trajectory of that moisture plume looks to be over the more northern counties and into Kansas, but we should still have more cloud cover and a decent chance of scattered showers/storms for Thursday into the day Friday. A strong cold front will be responsible for the big swings in the coming days. Any storm can be on the strong side, especially in the evening.

Rain has several different triggering mechanisms, and we’ll see several of them come together today. The showers/storms that do occur will have the potential for locally very heavy rainfall in a short period of time along with some localized damaging winds.
The actual cold front doesn’t arrive until late Saturday. It will boast a line of thunderstorms swinging through, and a few of those could be strong. Showers and thunderstorms will begin increasing from the northwest by sunrise, but most spots south of I-44 will remain dry. Also, a series of disturbances connected with the tropical system in Baja California will give us a chance for wet weather, with a strong cool front headed through on Friday.

The cool air moves in for Sunday with lows in the low and mid 50s and highs in the middle 70s. Highs will be in the upper 80s, but it will be just as muggy as Wednesday causing heat index values to climb to the low to mid-90s. That should lead to another temperature drop.
