Light winds, above normal temperatures, and dry conditions are expected today with high pressure being the dominate feature across western Kansas. A weak shortwave will move through the area this evening bringing an increase in cloudiness. A few light showers will be possible across our eastern zones before midnight with clearing expected after midnight. Mostly clear skies are then expected tomorrow. As for temperatures, lows this morning will dip into the 30s with highs in the low 70s. An exception to this will be across far southwestern Kansas where mid to upper 70s will be felt. Lows tonight look to once again dip into the 30s with highs tomorrow in the mid to upper 60s. Lows tomorrow night will dip into the 30s.

Expect dry conditions to continue Friday into this weekend with an increase in chances of precipitation next week. A dry cold front is still depicted by the models Saturday into Sunday which will in turn bring back near normal temperatures Sunday into next week. As for temperature values, expect highs in the 70s Friday, 60s north to 70s south Saturday, 40s north to 60s south Sunday, 40s Monday, then back into the 50s Tuesday. Lows will generally be in the 30s with the exception of south central Kansas Saturday morning where low 40s will be felt and 20s across the entire CWA Monday morning when the coolest air arrives.
