Residents in Kansas, particularly in western and central regions, should prepare for isolated storms today and tonight. While severe weather is not expected, a strong storm or two cannot be ruled out. Heat indices of 100-105°F (37-40°C) may pose heat-related health risks, especially for vulnerable populations.
