17 May 2023
A pleasantly warm day on the way for Wichita as highs head for the upper 70s and low 80s. It will be a bit humid outside, however.
Storm chances will be confined to western Kansas today where a few isolated storms may reach severe levels with some wind gusts over 60 mph and hail over the size of quarters.
A Marginal Risk is in effect for areas west of US-83.
Showers and storms will fizzle out as they make eastward progress tonight, but don’t put the umbrellas away yet! A cold front will advance southward tonight and will serve as a focus for more widespread rain and storm development for Thursday.
Once these rain chances clear out, we should spend a few days more on the dry side, with highs returning above normal to the 80s by early next week.
