The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties from 1-7 pm. Air temperatures may climb to the mid-90s with heat index readings as high as 105.
Storms should move in after sunset. Heavy rainfall is possible, and Chase and Morris counties are in separate flash flood watches from 7 pm Sunday to 7 am Monday. The Weather Service anticipates 1-2 inches of rainfall with local totals as high as 4 inches.
