We have dried out now that storms are gone. Everyone will feel the effect of the cold front this morning.
We are off to a colder start to the day with temperatures this morning in the 30s and 40s. Some temperatures to the west this morning have dropped down to and slightly below freezing. This is why a Freeze Warning will remain in effect.
High temperatures will be below average in the upper 50s and low 60s. Trick-or-treaters will not have to worry about active weather and winds will be lighter, but they will have to dress for a cool evening.
The cool evening turns into another chilly night. Overnight lows will be in the 30s and low 40s.
A southerly switch of our winds will warm temperatures a bit tomorrow. Much of the day Friday will stay dry too but we are in store for a damp weekend.
Rain starts to move back into the area from the south late Friday night.
Showers and storms are likely through Saturday. The heaviest rainfall favors Central Kansas.
Western Kansas will still need to be monitored closely due to a chance for isolated strong to severe storms. Damaging wind gusts and large hail are the main threats.
An approaching cold front will keep skies unsettled with showers and storms through Sunday. Before it arrives, Sunday will be warmer and you will notice more moisture in the air.
Higher dew points Sunday will help support another risk for strong to severe storms later in the afternoon and evening.
The new week starts damp and stormy but chances will start to drop off by Tuesday. Once this multi-day rain event wraps up, Central Kansas will be looking at rain totals up to 2″ to 4″ with lesser amounts west.
