A hot, humid day in Wichita area

June 16, 20097:13 a.m.

WICHITA – Highs should soar into the 90s under mostly sunny skies in the Wichita area today.

It should be humid, too, with plenty of moisture remaining in the atmosphere from Monday night’s strong storms, forecasters say. In fact, there’s a slight chance of more showers today, though they aren’t expected to be strong.

Wednesday should also be sunny, hot and humid in south-central Kansas, forecasters say, with highs climbing into the mid-90s.
