28 January 2024
Clear skies returned to the Sunflower State today! Western Kansas basked in the sunshine for longer than central Kansas, and our high temperatures today reflect that. Wichita struggled to reach 40 degrees as cloud cover was stubborn to clear out, but Dodge City rose into the 50s thanks to sunny skies.
We all see clear skies by tonight. Temperatures will be able to fall back into the 20s across the state with plenty of stars. Winds stay out of the northwest through early Sunday.
Patchy fog will once again develop tonight. Some areas could see dense fog as they head out the door tomorrow morning. Make sure you have your headlights on. Any fog the forms will mix out quickly by the late morning.
Highs tomorrow will sit well above average. Temperatures range from the upper 40s to the low 60s across the region. We all see abundant sunshine with winds starting to shift out of the west and the southwest.
We see temperatures continue to climb through the week. Highs hover in the upper 50s and low 60s through the workweek. High pressure will remain in control until our next chance for rain knocks temperatures back a few degrees by next weekend.
The ridge of high pressure will chase away any chance for rain over the next several days. Skies will stay clear and temperatures will warm as the high causes air to compress back down towards the surface.
Next weekend looks like our next best chance of seeing rainfall. But until then, be sure to get outside this week and enjoy our warm and sunny weather pattern.
