.LONG TERM...

THIS EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN ON SATURDAY, WITH A BROAD UPPER 
LEVEL RIDGE STILL IN PLACE OVER THE PLAINS STATES.  SATURDAY SHOULD 
BE MOSTLY SUNNY AND MILD WITH SEASONAL HIGHS IN THE MID 60S.  AS 
SUNDAY APPROACHES, A LOBE OF UPPER VORTICITY WILL SWING THROUGH OUR 
AREA, BRINGING PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, BUT WITH WARMING SOUTH 
SURFACE WINDS.  SUNDAY SHOULD BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN ON 
SATURDAY.  THE UPPER HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SLOWLY WORK IT'S WAY 
EAST DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK.  THIS WILL LEAVE SOUTHWEST 
KANSAS WITH PARTLY SUNNY SKIES AND PARTLY CLOUDY NIGHTS.  
TEMPERATURES WILL STAY ABOUT THE SAME, IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. 

BY WEDNESDAY, A WEAK UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE COLORADO 
LINE, AND SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO OUR FAR 
WEST ZONES.  THAT UPPER TROUGH WILL STRADDLE WESTERN KANSAS 
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY, AND SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS 
WILL SPREAD FARTHER EAST ACROSS ALL BUT OUR FAR EAST ZONES.  MUCH OF 
THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE RELATIVELY DRY, SO I DO 
NOT THINK WE WILL SEE MUCH MEASURABLE RAIN.  THE CONSALL MODEL 
PLACED 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS MAINLY IN OUR WESTERN ZONES, AND THIS 
LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY SEEMS ABOUT RIGHT TO ME.  

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE IN 
THE LOWER TO MID 70S.  MINIMUM TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED 
PERIOD WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 40S TO THE MIDDLE 50S.
