Brief warm up today

After a well deserved break from the heat and especially the humidity it is going to warm up a little today. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80's with maybe near 90 degrees near and south of Kansas City. But without the high humidity, the air wont be as steamy.

The reason for this warm up today is an approaching backdoor cold front pushing toward us from the northeast. The air is heating up out ahead of the front, but it wont be that bad.

The front should back through tonight and bring with it a c cooler airmass with a northwest flow. We may see some morning and overnight thunderstorm activity around with this northwest flow later this week.
