We are about to open a door to multiple days of unsettled skies. Our next front has already started to move in and will assist in sparking a few showers and storms later today.
Wednesday afternoon will be a little cooler but we will not see a big shift in temperatures just yet. Highs in the 60s and 70s will still be warm.
Later this afternoon and evening some showers and storms will begin to develop around and especially south of the Kansas/Oklahoma line. We will be on the northern edge of this moisture which is why most of the area will be dry.
It is important that we still monitor the potential for storms to impact our area. A severe risk continues to be confined to our Oklahoma counties but a few showers and storms could still cross the state line into Southern Kansas.
This system continues to spin some showers and isolated rumbles into the area through Thursday. The best chance for rain is in South Central Kansas. Severe weather is not expected.
Another cold front into Friday sparks a little rain mainly east of the area as winds shift again. Most of Friday will be dry with some clouds clearing.
We will be right back to active weather by the weekend with showers and storms returning. Saturday is not looking like a washout but you will want to have an alternative to spending time outdoors.
Widespread moisture lines up Sunday and it will be a damp end to the weekend. As colder air moves in there will be a wintry component to this system and some snow will be possible Sunday night into Monday for areas farther northwest. Temperatures will turn chilly into next week too.
