WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – It is a clear and cold, but otherwise quiet morning across Kansas. Wake-up temperatures in the 20s will eventually climb into the middle to upper 40s this afternoon underneath mainly sunny skies.
Thursday will be the proverbial calm before the (winter) storm. Mostly sunny skies will turn mainly cloudy, and temperatures will tumble into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but no travel troubles are expected.
The next batch of Arctic air will arrive on Friday setting the stage for widespread accumulating snow across the state. Afternoon temperatures in the teens will be accompanied by overnight/early morning temperatures in the single digits. However, when you factor in the wind it will feel like ten to twenty degrees below zero, making frostbite possible in as little as thirty minutes.
While the exact path of a late week storm system remains uncertain, odds are climbing that it will bring snowfall accumulation to the state. Light snow is possible along and north of I-70, while areas farther south will likely see several inches of accumulation. Expect the snow to start falling across western Kansas Friday afternoon and then spread east during the evening and night. The snow will continue Saturday before coming to a stop during the evening or night.
WICHITA AREA FORECAST:
Today: Sunny. Wind: NW/W 5-15. High: 50
Tonight: Becoming mostly clear and cold. Wind: N/E 5-10. Low: 22
Tomorrow: Increasing clouds and cooler. Wind: E/NE 5-15. High: 44
Fri: Low: 13. High: 16. Cloudy and colder; snow arrives in the afternoon.
Sat: Low: 2. High: 8. Very cold with snow.
Sun: Low: -3. High: 15. Decreasing clouds and very cold.
Mon: Low: 2. High: 27. Sunny.
Tue: Low: 15. High: 33. Partly cloudy. Breezy.

Kansas referee taking leave from officiating after viral incident during girls basketball game
EUDORA, Kan. (KCTV) – A viral moment out of Eudora has reached millions on social media over the weekend.
In the third quarter of a high school girls basketball game between Bonner Springs and Eudora on Friday night, an official ejected a Bonner Springs guard.
“She was asking for a foul. And for complaining, she got hit with a technical foul. And for reacting to that, she got hit with a second technical foul,” Eudora Sports Live play-by-play broadcaster Reid McEvoy told KCTV5 about the moment.
As the official walked over to the bench, he fell backward to the floor.
“I think her [the player’s] arm maybe brushes against his chest,” McEvoy added. “And there’s an angle when you can see he looks down at the fact that he’s been touched, and then falls to the floor very theatrically.”
Many online have accused the longtime official, Jeff Freeman, of flopping.
But Freeman, a former principal at Jay Shideler Elementary School in Topeka, gave a statement to KCTV5 on Monday, sharing his side of the story.
“I have a medical condition. I am visiting my neurologist tomorrow, hopefully, and will have additional information after that. Ask my fellow officials, coaches, athletic directors, etc., about me. My reputation is stellar. I do not want any additional punishment for that player, coach, or school. It was not their fault.”
The Kansas State High School Activities Association told KCTV5 on Monday that Freeman will take a break from active officiating. Here’s KSHSAA’s full statement:
After a few minutes on the ground surrounded by medical personnel, he eventually got back up, and proceeded to officiate the rest of the girls game, as well as the ensuing boys game.
“Everybody kind of reluctantly applauded for him,” McEvoy said. “He seemed to be alright in the end.”

Kansas State football’s transfer portal needs, what to know
K-State reporter Wyatt Wheeler breaks down the Wildcats’ needs and key information ahead of the transfer portal window opening.
MANHATTAN — Hanging on the walls at the Rally House in Aggieville in the early weeks of the season, Dylan Edwards’ purple Kansas State uniform hung next to Avery Johnson’s, as the two premier players for the Wildcats entering the 2025 season.
Those who have bought Johnson’s No. 2 jersey can wear it with pride, knowing he’s been a standout quarterback for the Wildcats, while showing rare loyalty in the current college football landscape, and that he could take his game to another level with the return of coach Collin Klein.
Those who bought Edwards’ No. 3 jersey? If they weren’t able to find the receipt to return it after his frustrating and drama-filled season, they may be looking for their nearest fire pit to burn it.
Especially now.
Edwards, one of the more polarizing players in recent K-State football history, will return to Bill Snyder Family Stadium this fall, this time on the opposing sideline, after he chose to continue his college career for the arch-rival Kansas Jayhawks.
Already largely disliked by the K-State fanbase, now that he has opted to wear the Kansas blue and crimson, Edwards will be met with hostility when the two meet for this year’s Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan.
Edwards takes on the perfect villain role in this rivalry, which has been one-sided for the better part of the last two decades.
Edwards, of course, committed to K-State out of high school, only to flip to Notre Dame before eventually decommitting to the Fighting Irish to play for Deion Sanders at Colorado. After one season at Colorado, he left to play for K-State for two seasons. In his second season with the Wildcats, he got hurt after muffing the first punt of the season and only played meaningful snaps in one game.
The weekly mystery of Edwards’ availability grew frustrating for fans, especially amid a disappointing season, until he eventually redshirted and left the team in early November. Then-coach Chris Klieman called the situation “unfortunate” after Edwards entered the transfer portal.
Fast forward to Jan. 16, and Edwards was seen in Allen Fieldhouse for the Jayhawks’ win over Baylor.
“Fall seven times, stand up eight,” Edwards posted on Instagram, announcing his commitment. “#rockchalk”
Kansas will enter the latest chapter of the in-state matchup on a 17-game losing streak, losing each game since 2008. Even when K-State looked vulnerable entering this year’s game, the Wildcats, without Edwards, still handed the Jayhawks a 42-17 defeat in Lawrence.
But if Edwards, whose talent when he’s available to play is undeniable, were to come in and help the Jayhawks end the streak? The Derby product would be seen as a hero in Lawrence, while making his name even more cursed in K-State lore.
No matter what, Edwards’ addition to the Jayhawks adds another level of intrigue to a game that’s been played since 1902. When Edwards’ name is announced at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, the chorus of boos may be even louder than the roar it gave when he broke away for a 75-yard touchdown in the Wildcats’ win over UCF.
By choosing to play for the Jayhawks, Edwards has apparently embraced the idea of being a villain in the eyes of the Kansas State faithful. You can bet that no one will be wearing their old purple No. 3 jersey when the Jayhawks make the drive down Bill Snyder Highway later this year.
