Dodge City, Kansas – Kansas residents are bracing for a return to scorching temperatures this weekend, with highs in the upper 90s and even reaching the triple digits by midweek. As the heat intensifies, the state is also preparing for a chance of rain, which could bring some relief but also the risk of thunderstorms by late week.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures across the state will remain in the 90s for the coming days, with a significant jump into the low 100s starting Sunday and continuing through Tuesday. Dodge City is expected to hit 99°F by Sunday and 102°F by Monday, while Medicine Lodge and Liberal will see similar extreme highs, making for a hot stretch of weather. With low temperatures overnight staying in the 70s, there will be little relief from the heat.
In Hays, Kansas, temperatures will also climb into the low 100s on Sunday and Monday. By Tuesday, a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms will begin to enter the forecast, offering a potential break from the relentless heat.
Residents should prepare by staying hydrated, avoiding outdoor activities during peak heat, and checking on vulnerable populations like the elderly and pets. Rain chances become more likely toward mid-week, which could bring brief but welcome relief for the sun-scorched region.
