A chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms returns by late this afternoon through the overnight across far west central and southwest Kansas. No severe weather is expected, so the only real threat will be isolated lightning. Increasing clouds in the western sections will hold temperatures down in the upper 70 to lows Today. Farther east, highs will rise to around 90s degrees in central Kansas. High and mid level moisture will continue to feed into the Central Plains from the southwest United States overnight into Wednesday. Most of the area should see variable amounts of rain on Wednesday as scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continue on and off during the day. Rainfall amounts could easily vary between a tenth and more than three quarters of an inch. Again, severe storms are not likely and lightning will be the main threat. Temperatures are forecast around 10 degrees cooler for Wednesday afternoon.
