At long last, a break from triple digits – and maybe even some rain

There’s a slight chance of rain in the forecast for the Wichita area this morning, forecasters say, with the cloudy skies setting the stage for a welcome break from triple digits.

Today is expected to be the first day in 10 that the high won’t hit 100 in Wichita. It’ll still be in the upper 90s, though, with skies slowly clearing in the afternoon.

The best chances for rain, forecasters say, will be before 1 p.m. Winds will be out of the south-southwest in the teens, with gusts approaching 25 miles an hour.

Skies should clear overnight, with lows in the mid-70s. Friday will be sunny and hot again, with highs climbing back above 100. More 100s are expected through the weekend.
