A litteral heat wave has just settled over Kansas. Topeka has been over 100 for 3 days in a row, going for 4 today. It's been 101 Friday, 103 Saturday, 104 Sunday, and a forecasted 104 today, and a forecasted 102 tomorrow.
WHEN WILL IT END??
Is it hot enough?

Well David and others in the plains it looks like the big time heat should lighten up some come Thursday or Friday with the arrival of a coldfront droppinf in from Canada...................This will be some of the coolest air in a few months but will mainly affect areas in the northern Plains eastward into the Northeast come the weekend.................Most areas though east of the rockies should see somewhat cooler temps.......................
