Fantastic Friday across Kansas

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Meteorologist Jake Dunne says aside from some patchy fog, it is a quiet Friday morning with wake-up temperatures in the 50s. Mainly sunny skies will lead us to a warmer afternoon as temperatures top-out in the lower 80s.

Expect even warmer (hotter?) conditions on Saturday as highs climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s. A weak cold front will sweep across Kansas on Saturday night, and while few, if any showers or storms are expected with its passage, temperatures will trend cooler on Sunday.

The frontal boundary will stall, or slowly move north setting the stage for showers and storms to erupt on Sunday. While the exact timing is uncertain, some of the storms will (most likely) be severe, producing large hail and damaging wind.

Looking ahead… the boundary may linger around the state on Monday, possibly producing another round of showers and storms before moving south on Tuesday ending the storm chances and ushering in cooler temperatures.
