● The Excessive Heat Warning continues through Thursday evening for the entire area.
● Air temperatures in the shade are expected to range from 100 to 111°. Forecast highs are near record values, with the current forecast of seven straight 100° days potentially being the longest heat wave of 100°+ highs since 2011 (when we had ten straight days at or above 100 degrees).
● Heat index values near 120 possible again today across east-central Kansas. Slightly cooler after today, but still heat indices 105 to 115 Wednesday and Thursday, and around 105 Friday.
● Confidence remains high (80-100%) through Thursday on 100+ temperatures
