Looking ahead to weekend storm chances
The temperature change will occur due to a cold front bringing a wind shift. Wind speeds will reach 20 to 25 mph but will not be as gusty as last night.
Another front and wind shift moves in tonight. This will spark another chance for rain to the northwest.
We will be dry Friday into Saturday but then we will begin to get into an active pattern over the weekend.
Some storms over the weekend and into next week could be strong to severe. A small part of the area to the southeast will be under a Marginal Risk for severe weather Saturday.
Saturday starts dry and we should stay that way into the afternoon. Late in the afternoon and by the evening storm chances will start to go back up.
The chance for strong to severe storms will impact more of the area Sunday.
It will be the late afternoon and evening hours again that will need to be monitored.
Storms will wind down during the overnight and Monday will start quiet. However, we will need to continue practicing being weather aware with another round of potential strong to severe storms expected late in the day.
Evening storms will impact much of the area, especially between Central and Eastern Kansas.
Some showers and storms will linger Tuesday but so far, severe weather is not expected. The middle of the week does not look as active.
