Dense fog will likely expand across sections of west central and southwest Kansas on Monday morning. Locations from Ulysses to Garden City, Scott City and Ness City may be the most favored areas for dense fog. If the fog expands across a large enough area, it could linger through the mid to late morning hours. Temperatures today will be influenced by lingering low level clouds over central Kansas. As a result, highs in the more sunny west should easily reach the 90s, while farther east, only the low 80s. Lows tonight will once again be mild, in the mid 60s, however fog will not be as likely. By Tuesday, breezy winds and full sun will return with warm low 90s overspreading the entire area. Temperatures will be slightly cooler by Wednesday and into Thursday as a subtropical jet arrives bringing increased clouds followed chances for widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms to the Central Plains.
