High temperatures across most of Kiowa County will fall slightly short of the 100-degree mark Wednesday, with Haswell as the “cool” spot in the county by only reaching the mid-90s.

There is an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon into the evening hours. While most areas can expect less than one-tenth inch of rain, locations where thunderstorms do form could see substantially greater amounts. The potential for thunderstorms increases further Thursday afternoon and evening as monsoon moisture continues to stream across the region. Rain remains a possibility for Kiowa County at least through the weekend.

Watch for a cooling trend to start Thursday, with daytime highs progressively dropping to the mid-80s by Tuesday.
