A Sizzling Weekend of Spirits and Summer Markets
The Kansas summer is in full swing this weekend with a high-signal weather forecast that calls for indoor refuge and cold drinks. While Sunday will be a scorcher, the quality of local events like the bacon and bourbon festival makes this a good weekend to be in the metro area. Stick to the shade during the day and enjoy the spectacular sunset views in the evening.
Prepare for a high-intensity heatwave with temperatures peaking at 101 degrees on Sunday. Friday and Saturday offer slightly more moderate highs in the mid 90s under partly cloudy skies.
