.SHORT TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 500 PM MDT Sun Jul 14 2024

Tonight...isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms are
anticipated to move from west to east through about 12 AM MDT (1
AM CDT), impacting those generally west of a line from near
McCook to Colby and Oakley. The primary hazard will be wind
gusts up to 65 mph. HRRR is showing a potential for heat bursts
after about 10 PM MDT as shower/thunderstorm activity
dissipates. Low temperatures are forecast to be in the middle
60s to middle 70s.

Monday-Monday night...we`ll have another chance for showers and
thunderstorms from late afternoon through the overnight hours as
a better organized weather system moves through from the
northwest. A few severe thunderstorms will be possible. High
temperatures are forecast to be in the middle 90s to around 107
with low temperatures in the lower 60s to lower 70s. Heat
indices as high as 107 are forecast (Norton/Graham counties).

Tuesday-Tuesday night...We`ll have a lull in precipitation
chances until late afternoon when another weather system moves
through from the west-northwest. Presently we have likely pops
(60%) for overnight thunderstorm chances. High temperatures
return closer to normal for early July with upper 80s to lower
90s forecast. Low temperatures also near normal in the upper 50s
to middle 60s.

Wednesday-Wednesday night...lingering moisture in the 850-500mb
layer in the northwest flow aloft will continue to support daily
and overnight chances for rainfall. Presently we have 20%-70%
chances during the day with 20%-50% chances overnight. With
cooler temperatures aloft and quite a bit of cloud cover, high
temperatures look to be below normal with 80 to 85 degrees
forecast. Low temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 50s
to lower 60s.
