According to the National Weather Service of Topeka, scattered showers with a few thunderstorms are possible today as skies this afternoon are partly to mostly cloudy with warming temperatures in the lower 80s. For this evening, the chance for showers and thunderstorms increases in response to the slow moving disturbance passing through northeast Kansas. Brief heavy rainfall could lead to localized flooding, but do not expect widespread flooding concerns. Occasional showers and thunderstorms are expected once again Monday afternoon and evening as a frontal boundary tracks through the area. While the slow moving disturbance is expected to exit late Tuesday, a series of additional disturbances will quickly pass through the central plains, bringing continued chances for scattered thunderstorms through next weekend
