Weekend Forecast

Goodland Radar Will Be Down For Repairs

Scattered storms forecast to develop along the Cheyenne Ridge and portions of the Colorado Front Range late this afternoon (Saturday August 29) may track eastward into northwest Kansas this evening and overnight. A severe storm can’t be ruled-out, mainly north of I-70 between ~6-11 pm MDT. Localized wind gusts up to 65 mph are the primary threat.

Air temperatures and heat indices ranging from 100-105⁰F are expected across portions of the area this afternoon (Saturday August 29), mainly east of Highway 83. If you must be outdoors, wear light weight and loose fitting clothing, drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade or an air conditioned building.

Well above normal temperatures will prevail over the weekend, hottest along and east of Highway 83 this afternoon (Saturday August 29) when air temperatures and heat indices are forecast to reach 100-105°F. A modest cooling trend will follow, on Monday. Scattered late afternoon and evening storms are possible each day.

Due to accumulating hail damage the past few years, the Goodland radar is getting a new radar dome. The issue is that the radar itself will likely be down through Sep. 9th. You may look at neighboring radars to still see radar data. We will still send watches and warnings.
