Wichita weather: Sunny skies, cooler temperatures

9 August, 20125:00 a.m.

Wichita may have missed out on the rain Wednesday, but it won’t miss out on the much cooler temperatures trailing in the front’s wake.

Highs today will be in the low to mid-90s – in other words, about what they should be for this time of year – with sunny skies and north winds gusting to 20 miles an hour. Skies will be clear overnight with lows in the upper 60s.

Friday will be even cooler, forecasters say, with highs in the upper 80s under sunny skies. Northeast winds will tickle double digits.

The weekend will see a chance of showers on both days with highs in the low 90s.
