What We’re Tracking
Cooler air settles in
Freeze possible this weekend
Rainy start to next week
A FREEZE WARNING has been issued for Brown, Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Douglas, Geary, Jackson, Jefferson, Marshall, Morris, Nemaha, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, and Washington counties from 12 AM to 9 AM Saturday.
A FREEZE WATCH has been issued for the entire viewing area from 12 AM to 9 AM Sunday.
Partly cloudy skies are expected tonight with the main story being freezing temperatures. Overnight lows will cool into the lower 30s for a quick flashback to winter-like conditions. Wind chills could be in the lower 20s for some. Make sure to bring in any sensitive plants or cover them up as we look to hold on to the colder air for a couple days.
Saturday could be our coldest out of the next several days with highs stuck in the 50s. Winds will also remain breezy, but out of the north and west, making it feel colder at times. Luckily, we should see a mix of sun and clouds throughout the daytime.
Those winds do look to back off quite a bit for Saturday night, and with clear skies expected, that will create some pretty cold conditions for this time of the year. Low temperatures by Sunday morning may dip into the upper 20s and lower 30s.
With cold temperatures expected for overnight lows the next few nights, a freeze warning and freeze watch has been issued for portions of the area.
Our weather pattern gets pretty active heading into next week, which is typical for this time of the year. The next chance for showers arrives by late Monday and lingers through midweek as highs try and rebound into the middle 60s.
