Severe thunderstorms will be a possibility for far eastern Kiowa County later in the day Sunday as a dry line sets up in the area.

High temperatures across the county will be in the upper 80s for the day. South winds will increase to 20-25 miles per hour later in the day, and gusts to 35 mph are possible.

Monday cools slightly, with a high in the upper 70s expected, before returning to the mid-80s for Tuesday and Wednesday.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.
