OVERALL NOT A LOT OF CHANGE REGARDING HEAT OR CHANCES FOR RAIN.
A SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL HELP PUSH A

TROUGH MOVING INTO PARTS OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN KANSAS. ANY
CONVECTION THAT FORMS ALONG AND NEAR THESE BOUNARIES THIS AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE FA.
MID-LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO BUILD EAST THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK BUT MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN VERY WARM (-3 AT 5H).
ANOTHER WAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FASTER WESTERLIES OVER THE
WEEKEND. THIS MAY BRING AN INCREASE IN SURFACE WINDS ON SATURDAY.
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...CENTER OF RIDGE WILL BE OVER THE CENTRAL US
AGAIN...SO VERY HOT AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL. NO
CHANGES EXPECTED TO CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY.
