Storm Track 3 Forecast: Pleasant Easter weekend, moisture returns next week

28 March 2024

A beautiful spring-like day across the Sunflower State! Highs will climb into the 60s and 70s this afternoon under sunny skies with breezy winds out of the south.

Winds will stay breezy overnight under partly cloudy skies with lows in the 30s.

A Wind Advisory is in place from 10 to 7 PM Friday for a few counties in southcentral Kansas.

Elevated fire weather concerns are in place for our Panhandle counties tomorrow as warm, windy, and dry conditions are in place.

Tomorrow will be another pleasant day with warm temperatures.

A weak cold front will slide across the region on Friday, bringing a change in our wind direction.

Northerly flow will knock temperatures back several degrees for Saturday, but highs will stay near the seasonal norm in the 60s. Easter Sunday will be a pleasant one.

Conditions will be dry and warm for any egg hunts in the morning and afternoon. Highs will range from the 60s to the 70s as we see a spike in temperatures ahead of our next boundary.

The approaching cold front will be on our doorstep Sunday night.

Showers will become widespread through Monday, with a few rumbles of thunder mixed in. A soggy morning will lead to a stormy afternoon as moisture tracks east during the warmest time of the day.

The southeastern corner of Kansas has already been highlighted in a Slight Risk for strong storms, mainly during Monday evening and overnight. This means that a few storms are expected to become strong to severe.

Behind the passing boundary, cold air will invade the region. Temperatures will fall come Tuesday, and as moisture wraps around the passing low, showers will turn to flurries. Northern Kansas will see the greatest potential of snowfall on Tuesday morning before temperatures recover quickly.

Highs are expected to bounce back into the 60s across the region by Wednesday and continue to climb for the second half of next week.
