Isolated thunderstorms may drift into far western Kansas this evening. Few if any of these storms are expected to be severe. The rest of the state should see clear to partly cloudy skies. Tuesday will bring lots of sunshine but also lots of wind. Gusts should be in the 30-35 mph range across all but the eastern 1/4 of the state. Wednesday looks mostly sunny, windy and hotter with much of the state seeing temperatures in the 90s. Thunderstorm chances will increase around the state Wednesday night and Thursday. Right now the Memorial Day weekend looks hot and dry.
