Wichita sees record warmth and snow on Tuesday

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita reached a record high of 80 degrees on Tuesday. The temperature broke an old record for the date. Back in 1976, the city hit 78 degrees.

After the temperature was reached, a cold front moved through and caused temperatures to plummet into the teens and 20s across Kansas.

The KSN Storm Track 3 team says temperatures will rebound quickly over the next few days, with highs warming into the 70s by the weekend.
