A cold front is moving through Kansas this morning and is expected to pass through the entire state by afternoon.  The only notable change will be a shift in the wind direction from south to north.  Moisture is limited and no precipitation will occur with this system over Kansas.  Temperatures today will be much cooler for western Kansas where highs reach the 60s and 70s yesterday, while only slightly cooler for areas of central and eastern Kansas. ...

After seeing a big warmup Saturday afternoon with highs in the 70s in western Kansas, a cold front will push through the state into Sunday. Temperatures overnight will be in the mid 20s west with mid 30s in the Wichita area. Skies will be mostly clear and the wind will die down. North winds return for Sunday with temperatures in the mid 50s over much of the state. Mostly sunny skies will prevail and the wind should be under 20 mph. Clouds will increase into Monday, but dry weather is expected.

A quiet weekend for holiday shopping and traveling across Kansas.  A few high clouds today, otherwise sunshine and warmer temperatures.  The only complaint might be the gusty south winds.  Afternoon temperatures will be warmer today, ranging from the 50s in eastern Kansas to near 70 out west.  Overnight lows in the 20s and 30s. Another cold front will move across the state on Sunday. Temperatures will not change too much for Sunday as the colder air is lagging over the northern plains.  The colder air is expected to move into the state on Monday and Tuesday.

The cold front that made its way through our region Thanksgiving Day has ushered in much colder temps carried on northerly winds. We can say see ya  to the spring-like 70s and hello to more fall-like 40s and 50s Friday under sunny skies.     The rest of our holiday weekend should be mostly sunny, dry and a little warmer. Look for gusty southerly winds Saturday with afternoon highs in the mid to upper-50s. Sunday we should have lighter winds and slightly warmer temps as highs top out in the lower-60s.

Mostly clear and cold tonight with light winds. Sunny and warmer tomorrow but with gusty south winds. Another cold front will move across the state on Sunday. The west will be cooler but the east will be warmer since the front won't reach eastern Kansas until later in the day. Behind the front on Monday there will be a chance for some rain showers in southeast Kansas, otherwise it will just be partly cloudy to mostly cloudy and colder. Sunny conditions return on Tuesday but it will be a little cooler.

It will be a mild Thanksgiving here in Kansas but as a front treks across the west during the afternoon, temperatures will begin to cool down quite a bit. As the cold front makes its way through our region Thursday, winds will shift to the north ushering in cooler air and dropping afternoon highs into the mid to upper 50s over northwest Kansas. Central and eastern parts of our state will see highs in the 60s to around 70 degrees.    The front could produce a few widely scattered showers over south-central and southeastern Kansas Thursday afternoon but most of us will stay dry. Cooler weather will move in behind the front Friday with statewide highs in the 50s. We'll warm-up a bit again this weekend before another, more potent, weather system arrives early next week bringing another chance of showers Monday followed by much colder weather Tuesday when highs only climb into the 40s. ______________ Wichita Area Forecast: Today:   Mostly cloudy with a few sprinkles.  Wind: S/N 10-20; gusty.  High: 74.
