Sunny

There will be no big changes in the weather heading into Thanksgiving week and the travel weather looks good. A few sprinkles may skirt the Wichita area overnight, but don't expect anything heavy. Lows will be in the upper 30s west/mid 40s in southcentral Kansas. Lighter winds and mostly sunny skies return for Monday. Highs will be in the upper 60s statewide. Tuesday looks warm and dry. Skies will be sunny and temperatures will be near 70. Wichita Area Forecast: Tonight:   Mostly cloudy with a few sprinkles possible, then partly cloudy late.  Wind: S 10-20.  Low: 45. Tomorrow:   Mostly sunny.  Wind: S/SW 5-15.

The weather will be changing again in Kansas and warmer temperatures are on the way back to the area. Overnight, clouds will be moving from west to east and the snow flurries in the northwest will end. Lows will dip down into the single digits for northern Kansas, with southern Kansas between 10-15 degrees. The winds should be light. Mostly sunny skies will prevail on Tuesday as the temperatures begin warming back up. Highs will be in the mid to uper 30s and the wind is expected to be farily light for much of the area.

Showers ventured across Wichita early Friday afternoon but reports in the city were less than a tenth of an inch. We expect more thunderstorms to develop late this afternoon and evening, especially in parts of western Kansas.  If you have plans to attend an area football game, it would be wise to bring the rain gear along. Showers and thunderstorms should diminish later tonight. Look for a partly cloudy sky Saturday with highs in the 60s and 70s.  Sunday looks pleasant as well with more 70 degree weather and partly cloudy skies.

The month of October ends on a dry note with cooler temperatures around the area. North winds were rather gusty Sunday afternoon, but they will ease after sunset. An approaching low pressure system will bring more clouds to the area on Monday, but it should stay dry. North winds will continue at 10-20 mph and temperatures should drop into the lower 60s for Monday afternoon. Although it may warm up briefly Tuesday, a strong push of cold, Canadian air will be headed this way by the end of the week.

Hot days and warm nights will continue across Kansas through the 4th of July weekend.  A slight amount of cooling will be found in northwestern Kansas on Friday and over most of the northern part of the state on Saturday.  The cool front that will bring the temperatures down may also touch off some isolated thunderstorms in the north late Friday afternoon and evening.  The rest of the state is expected to stay dry until late next week. ___________________ Wichita Area Forecast: . Excessive Heat Warning through Friday . Tonight:   Clear and warm.  Wind: S 10-20.  Low: 78. Tomorrow:   Sunny, breezy and hot again.  Wind: S 15-25; gusty.  High: 105. Tomorrow night:   Mostly clear and warm.  Wind: S 5-15.  Low: 78. Sat:   High:  100  Mostly sunny.

After so many hot days with highs above 100, we'll get a little bit of a break with clouds and isolated storms through Wednesday evening. A weak area of low pressure in southern Kansas, combined with a stationary front over northern Kansas will bring a chance for scattered storms to the area overnight and again on Wednesday. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to get rain, but some of the isolated storms will dump brief heavy downpours. Some hail and gusty winds will be possible with stronger storms, but widespread severe storms are not likely.
