A strong cold front will plow all the way past the southeast corner of Kansas by this afternoon ushering in much colder temperatures and gusty northerly winds but little if any rain.
Highs Thursday will range from the mid-50s over the northwest to mid 60s for south-central Kansas. North winds will be rather gusty, especially in the morning making it feel even cooler. Thicker clouds will be found over central and eastern Kansas while some sunshine is still expected out west.
Temperatures will continue to tumble Saturday when afternoon highs fall into the low to mid-50s as the coldest air of the season so far over-spreads our region.
The chilly Canadian air-mass will mean areas of frost are possible across parts of Kansas this weekend along with some freezing drizzle or flurries especially out west.
