The National Weather Service in Dodge City has issued a heat advisory from 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesday for a swath of northwest Kansas, including Ellis County.
“The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,” the NWS advisory said.
Temperatures are expected to reach 103 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday, with a high of 102 projected Friday. The temperature will be in triple digits again Saturday, before a slight cool down Sunday, when the mercury is only expected to reach the low 90s.
