Shorts, short sleeves — and maybe a new record for Wichita Thursday

Break out the sun screen and summer apparel, Wichita. Thursday looks poised to offer a sip of summer.

Temperatures could reach the mid-80s – warm enough to threaten the record high of 84 for March 5, which was set in 1991.

Other parts of the state could see records fall, too.

A pleasant March day awaits Wichita

A surge of warmer weather arrives today in Wichita, with temperatures soaring into the upper 60s in the metropolitan area.

Southerly winds in the teens can be expected, forecasters say, with gusts surging to more than 25 miles an hour.

Highs are expected to reach the 80s on Thursday and the 70s on Friday, with plenty of sunshine on both days.
