Today’s Weather
Kingman gets a break from last week’s 100-degree stretch. The National Weather Service calls for a sunny Sunday with a high near 94, slipping to around 92 in the afternoon. South-southwest winds run 15 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms moves in tonight, with a 20 percent chance of rain. Skies turn partly cloudy and the low drops to around 71. Monday looks mostly sunny and a little cooler, with a high near 89 and a 30 percent chance of storms.
Public Safety
There are no active NWS watches, warnings, or advisories for the Kingman area as of this morning. Temperatures are down from last week’s Extreme Heat Warnings, but the afternoon wind and a late-day storm chance still make early outdoor work the safer bet.
