A large upper ridge will advance across the western states into the central Rockies and high plains region by this weekend.

This will create a generally dry and warming pattern across southwest and central Kansas through the weekend and beyond. Although thunderstorm chances cannot be completely ruled out, chances for storms are quite low through the period, and are generally relegated to regions to the north of southwest and central Kansas Thursday night.
