Forecast: No relief In Sight From Heat
Associated Press - Thu 11:07 AM 06/28/2012
Forecast is for temperatures mostly above 100 until Wednesday, and beyond
Forecasters see no relief in sight anytime soon from the scorching Kansas heat wave that has plunged the state into triple-digit temperatures.
Meteorologist Chris Jakub of the National Weather Service in Wichita said Thursday that the forecast is for temperatures mostly above 100 until Wednesday. And it could continue beyond that.
An upper level high pressure zone sitting over the Central Plains refuses to break down or move out of the area.
Temperatures are expected to reach around 110 in parts of central Kansas.
The heat is brutal in Hill City, which has recorded the hottest temperature in the nation for the past five days. Highs reached 115 Wednesday in Hill City.

What scares me is we haven't even gotten to the hottest part of the summer yet!!! I sure hope we have an early fall roll in being the horribly hot weather slammed us early!! And, if you are living around any elderly people, please be sure to check on them. Most will not ask for help or may be afraid to run up their utility bill using the A.C. And, PLEASE, IF YOU SEE DOGS IN THE YARDS CHAINED UP WITH NO SHADE, WATER ETC... CALL THE POLICE OR ANIMAL CONTROL!!! THEY CANNOT ASK FOR HELP AND SOME PET OWNERS DO NOT THINK ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE THIS HEAT IS ON THEM.
