Tonight, the lows and high 30s will replace the previous lows as the new lows. It is expected that we will continue to warm up during the next few days. On Monday and Tuesday, high temperatures are forecast to be in the upper 70s and lower 80s respectively. It is important to keep in mind that the typical high temperature for this time of year is in the upper 40s, which means that we are much above average.
The weather on Monday and Tuesday is going to be rather dry and windy. This makes the likelihood of wildfires occurring in the northern part of Kansas higher. It is imperative that you refrain from engaging in any activity that involves open flames and dispose of cigarettes in the appropriate manner, particularly in the coming days.
A severe cold front is currently moving through our region, and beginning on Tuesday night and continuing through Wednesday of the following week, chilly air will be flooding back in. This surge of colder air appears to be passing through for a relatively short period of time, and as of right now, it does not appear to be accompanied by a significant amount of moisture. This is a positive aspect of the situation. It is anticipated that there may be a few isolated, light snow showers from late Tuesday night until early Wednesday morning, but nothing of substantial magnitude.
