Hot. Sticky. Windy.
That’s the weekend in a nutshell for the KVOE listening area.
Air temperatures return to the mid-90s Saturday, with peak heat index readings at or above 100 and southerly winds as high as 40 mph. A similar story is in effect for Sunday, with highs in the low 90s, heat index readings near 100 and south winds as high as 40 mph.
The conditions set up a list of heat and wind advisories for the area:
*HEAT ADVISORY: Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties until 9 pm Sunday
*WIND ADVISORY: Lyon, Chase, Morris and Wabaunsee counties from 10 am to 8 pm Saturday
*WIND ADVISORY: Morris County from 10 am to 8 pm Sunday
This also follows Friday’s conditions, which included a high temperature of 95 degrees, peak heat index of 105 and wind gusts as high as 40 mph at the Emporia Municipal Airport.
Rain chances are limited at best for the next few days. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms Monday night, followed by slight to moderate chances of showers and storms Wednesday night through Friday.
