A powerful cold front is expected to move across Kansas today, according to meteorologist Jake Dunne.
Although the majority of the state will remain dry, there is a chance of light rain and/or snow showers in the afternoon and evening, primarily in the northern and eastern regions.
Following Sunday’s temperatures in the 60s, today will see highs in the 50s, with temperatures dropping to the lower 40s tomorrow.
Today, another concern regarding the storm system is the wind. Expect a northwest breeze with speeds ranging from 20-30 mph, occasionally gusting up to 40-45 mph.
This will be particularly noticeable in the western region of the state, where blowing dust is anticipated. As a result, red flag warnings have been issued to alert residents of the potential hazards.
Both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are expected to be calm, with colder temperatures. However, the temperatures will still be within the normal range for this time of year, with highs in the lower 40s and overnight temperatures in the lower 20s.
This weekend and beyond, we can expect significant weather changes on the horizon. Late Saturday and Sunday, there is a potential storm system approaching, bringing with it chances of rain and snow.
Following the storm, we can anticipate the arrival of Arctic air, bringing the coldest temperatures of the season. In fact, next week could potentially bring dangerously low wind chills.
