Near normal temps today

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Meteorologist Jake Dunne says it is another cold morning across Kansas, but like Thursday morning most wind chills are above zero. Later today underneath a sunny sky, temperatures will top-out in the middle 40s, or near normal for early February.

A more significant warm-up will commence on Saturday as highs climb into the upper 50s and lower 60s, or typical temperatures for early March and not early February. The wind will get a little gusty on Saturday but should relax some on Sunday.

Our next chance of moisture will arrive on Monday. However, with milder air in place, we are looking at a chance of rain, and not snow. Though the precipitation should be light, scattered in nature, and mostly along and east of the turnpike.

A second wave of rain, possibly mixed with snow is expected to move through the state during the middle of next week. However, there is quite a bit of uncertainty regarding the path and timing… stay tuned for updates.
