KEY MESSAGES
- A quiet and dry weather pattern will persist for several days across central and southern Kansas
- Cold wind chills will affect the entire region for late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning as another polar airmass sinks southward
DISCUSSION
Issued at 200 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025
South winds return and sunny skies will help warm temperatures up today as surface high pressure pushes east of Kansas. Models are in good agreement with another surge of polar air sinking southward from the northern plains and spreading into Kansas on Wednesday/Wednesday night. This surge of colder air will also be accompanied by increasing north winds during the day on Wednesday. The combination of polar air and north winds will drop wind chill readings to near zero degrees over central Kansas for Thursday morning, with all other areas dropping in the single digits.
A dry and quiet weather pattern looks to persist for several days as a upper level northwest flow regime becomes well established thus keeping moisture shoved well south of Kansas. Temperatures will gradually warm for Friday and Saturday followed by another push of colder air on Sunday.
AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/
Issued at 519 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025
VFR conditions will prevail across the region over the next 24hrs with south winds and clear skies. A frontal boundary will push southward into central Kansas late tonight. This will cause the winds to switch around to the northwest during the overnight hours.
