National Weather Service Forecast

Be sure to enjoy our dry and mild conditions today as this weekend is

looking to be a bit of a washout, according to the National Weather Service of Topeka. Temperatures today will be well above the seasonal normals once again with highs soaring into the mid/upper 60s.

A storm system will move into the area on Saturday, with areas of morning drizzle transitioning to more widespread showers with scattered thunderstorms through the afternoon and evening hours. A few of these storms may be strong to severe across far northeast and east central Kansas, with damaging winds being the primary concern.

Periods of showers will persist into Sunday and Sunday night, but the passage of a cold front Sunday morning will result in falling temperatures through the day. As a result, could see a mix of rain and snow across the area before the system finally exits the area late Sunday night.

While confidence is low in light snow accumulations occurring, the best potential for snow will be across north central Kansas.
