28 March 2024
We will be under the influence of high pressure today which will keep conditions sunny, pleasant, and dry. There is a front nearby that will move in by tomorrow but moisture will hold off for a few days.
The warming trend continues with afternoon highs reaching the 60s and low 70s. A southerly breeze will be stronger but it will also help draw in much of this warmth.
Due to breezy, dry, and warmer conditions, fire concerns will need to be monitored as we get ready to head into the weekend. Fire danger will be elevated to the southwest today.
Temperatures rise even more tomorrow with a strong breeze and dry skies.
This will keep fire danger elevated to the southwest Friday but at least conditions will be nice over Easter Weekend.
Easter Sunday stays dry with highs across the southern half of the area getting close to 80. A front wobbles back and forth over the holiday weekend but will not spark any moisture until Sunday night when a few showers and storms will be possible, especially between Central and Eastern Kansas.
Skies stay unsettled Monday and rain is looking more widespread by Monday night. At the same time there will be a switch from wet to wintry weather to the northwest.
Areas farther north and west will see rain mix with some snow into Tuesday. This will also signal a cooler day. This system exits by mid-week.
Temperatures will be quick to rebound and we will be dry for a few days before another storm system brings us some moisture next weekend.
