AREA WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WICHITA KS
450 AM CDT THU JUL 1 2004

UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN KANSAS BROUGHT EXTENSIVE 
CLOUDINESS AND WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE 
EASTERN HALF OF KANSAS OVERNIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL WAS NOT A PROBLEM. 
TEMPERATURES AS OF 4 AM WERE NEAR 70 DEGREES, WITH WINDS SOUTHEAST 
AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM WILL AFFECT MUCH OF THE KANSAS 
REGION TODAY, AS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE MOVES SLOWLY EAST AND 
INTERACTS WITH A TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL 
WILL BE A CONCERN, AS MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND 
FALLING ON ALREADY SATURATED GROUND. CONSEQUENTLY, FLOOD WATCHES 
HAVE BEEN POSTED FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA. HIGH 
TEMPERATURES WILL REACH THE 70S AND 80S.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT, BUT SHIFT 
SLIGHTLY FARTHER EAST. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A 
CONCERN. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE 60S AND LOWER 70S.
