Winter storm likely late this week for Kansas
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.

Lionel Messi’s Argentina To Set Up Base In Kansas City For 2026 World Cup
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Argentine National Team, led by Lionel Scaloni, will be based in Kansas City for much of the competition. They will play their first match of the tournament against Algeria on June 16th in the city. Although their other two matches will be in Dallas, the Albiceleste chose Kansas City for its convenient location and climate.
Kansas City, the champion’s base
Argentina have decided where to set up their training camp to defend their 2022 World Cup title: Kansas City, Mo. They will debut there on June 16 against Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium. The reigning World Cup champions are already beginning to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, which will be Lionel Messi’s last appearance in the tournament.
Comes after extensive research
The AFA announced that after several inspection trips led by the Physical Trainer, Luis Martín; the Alternate Physical Trainer, Juan Tamone; and the administrators Daniel Cabrera and Alberto Pernas, and after an exhaustive final report, it was concluded that Kansas City would be the ideal place to face the competition due to the distance between cities and amenities for the delegation.
MLS ties
Lionel Scaloni’s team will train at the Compass Minerals National Performance Center, the same training center as the local MLS side, Sporting Kansas City.
When does Argentina play in the 2026 World Cup?
| Tuesday, June 16 vs. Algeria in Kansas | Arrowhead Stadium |

Rob Riggle comments on the Chiefs’ upcoming relocation to Kansas
This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Actor, Comedian and long-time Kansas City Chiefs fan Rob Riggle.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Riggle discussed his partnership with Avocados From Mexico ahead of this year’s Big Game. The Guacamoney Sweepstakes is giving one lucky fan a taste of sweet victory. If specific predictions are accurate, one lucky fan will score $60,000 in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Big Game — plus free avocados for an entire year. He also shared his thoughts on the Chiefs relocating to Kansas, with a new stadium to be built soon.
“The folks over at Avocados From Mexico. You know, they knew my passion for football,” said Riggle, “They knew my penchant for predictions. They knew how much I like to make predictions, so they said, “Well, what about a guac guru?” to which I said, “Yes, please,” and that’s how this came to be. So I I like, I like, I like what they do. They have a great attitude and spirit.”
Riggle appears in the Avocados From Mexico campaign as the Guac Guru, an all-knowing expert ready to prove how guac and football are predictably good.
The Chiefs are set to relocate to the Sunflower State in 2031 after agreeing to a deal with the State of Kansas to build a new stadium in Wyandotte County. Riggle, a graduate of the University of Kansas, weighed in on the upcoming move.
“I mean, it’s tough. Change is always hard. Change is tough. It doesn’t mean it’s bad, it just means it’s hard sometimes. It could be one of the greatest things ever. We don’t know,” said Riggle. “It could be awesome.” This new stadium could be the most beautiful in the NFL. It could bring a Super Bowl to our town, which would be fantastic. I would love to host a Super Bowl. It means a lot of money for the for the for the area, for Kansas City, the whole area is going to benefit.”
To enter, fans can visit AFMGuacamoney.com until February 8th at 9 a.m. ET for a chance to win $60K. One entry is all it takes to be in the game — the rest is up to the Guac Guru and his bold predictions.
