6 February 2024
Please drive safely and take your time this morning. It is another foggy start to the day and this time it is more widespread, especially across Central Kansas. A Dense Fog Advisory will be in effect until 10am Tuesday.
In addition to the fog, there are also some temperatures that have dropped below freezing. This could lead to slick spots due to freezing fog.
Most of the fog will lift and dissipate by midday. The afternoon will be filled with mild high temperatures in the 50s and 60s under a mix of clouds and sun.
As our next system approaches you will notice a stronger breeze today too. Breezy conditions turn windy by tomorrow.
Rain chances will go up between Wednesday and Thursday but they do not look great. Temperatures will not take much of a hit as we have more mild days ahead.
Even though a few mid-week showers will be possible, by no means will Wednesday be a washout. Some rain could linger into Thursday but most of the moisture in the region will miss us during this time.
A second system will arrive just in time for the weekend and colder air will begin to move in. This Saturday-Sunday system will start as mainly rain but a wintry component will be possible as temperatures drop Saturday night. The exact track of this system is still being ironed out and will greatly determine who sees wet/wintry weather and how much.
Moisture moves out by early next week and temperatures should rebound quickly after a colder wrap up to the weekend.
