After one more day of triple-digit heat Monday, a cold front will bring welcome relief — and possibly some moisture — into the area on Tuesday.
The mercury is expected to fall nearly 40 degrees from Monday's predicted high of 102 to an overnight low in the mid-60s.
There is a 20 percent chance of showers or thunderstorms beginning at 7 p.m. Monday.
Predicted highs through the week will range from the upper-70s to upper-80s, with overnight lows as cool as 56 degrees.
There is a slight chance of showers or thunderstorms Tuesday and Thursday evening, as well, the National Weather Service in Dodge City reported.
