The advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. today. Other counties included are Russell, Lincoln, Barton, Ellsworth, Saline, Rice, McPherson and Harper.

Cloudy skies should persist throughout the day, forecasters say, and chances for rain will increase as the day unfolds. Highs should reach the low 60s, with light southerly winds.

Rain is likely overnight before skies clear on Tuesday, forecasters say. Highs will only reach the upper 40s Tuesday and the low 50s on Wednesday. Sunny skies are expected through at least Saturday.

Sunshine should then dominate the day, with high reaching the mid-50s in Wichita. Winds will be out of the north, but should stay light: single digits for the most part, but occasionally touching double digits.

Lows tonight should dip to the low 40s, forecasters say, with light winds shifting from the north to the south. The weekend looks like a pleasant one, with sunny skies and highs of about 60 on Saturday and the low 50s on Sunday.

Sunny skies and highs in the upper 50s are in the forecast. Winds will be out of the east in single digits. Overnight lows should dip into the mid-30s, and Friday should bring more sunshine and highs in the 50s, forecasters say.

The weekend should see more sunshine on Saturday and a chance of showers on Sunday. Highs should continue to top out in the 50s.

Sunny skies and highs in the mid- to upper 50s are expected, with variable winds lingering in the single digits. Overnight lows will dip into the 30s.

The next chance for precipitation arrives Saturday night and continues into Monday, but forecasters say that at this point it’s only a slight chance for rain.

Cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-40s are in the forecast for today, with north winds blowing steadily in the mid-teens and gusting to more than 25 miles an hour. A freeze watch has been issued for a half-dozen counties in south-central Kansas tonight through Wednesday morning: Sedgwick, Reno, Harvey, Kingman, Harper and Sumner.

Temperatures are expected to drop to around 30 degrees for several hours overnight in the watch area, then climb to about 50 on Wednesday under mostly sunny skies. Winds will ease to the single digits.

“We may get a mixture out there….a little light rain and snow mixture,” said Rob Cox, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wichita.

In fact, flurries were reported at dawn and should persist throughout the day. But it’s too warm for the snow to stick around. Temperatures should hold steady in the mid-30s today, Cox said, with north winds blowing steadily in the upper teens and gusting to nearly 30 miles an hour.

Light snow is expected tonight, but little to no accumulation is expected. Temperatures should hover in the mid-30s, and warm into the low 40s on Tuesday. Chances of light rain and snow will continue well into the day Tuesday.

Highs should reach the mid- to upper 60s, forecasters say, but it is the wind that will likely get noticed the most in the metropolitan area. South winds in the teens will intensify to the 20s and gust above 30 miles an hour today.

The winds should stay robust overnight and persist on Friday, though gusts may peak in the mid-20s. Highs should again be in the mid- to upper 60s, forecasters say, and there should be more breaks in the clouds.

Highs will top out in the upper 50s or low 60s, with light winds out of the east. Clouds should begin to move out overnight, forecasters say, and Thursday should be windy and warmer.

Temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-60s again Thursday and Friday before the weekend brings another chance of showers – along with highs in the 50s.

The fog and precipitation should go away by this afternoon – but the clouds won’t. Highs are projected to reach the low 60s, with light northeast winds.

Clouds will linger overnight and into Wednesday, but temperatures will continue to be above normal. Highs should reach the 60s through the end of the week, forecasters say.

Brief periods of heavy rain are possible with the strongest thunderstorms, but severe weather is not anticipated. Rain is most likely along and west of I-135 in the morning, and east of the Flint Hills this afternoon and evening.

Highs should reach the low 60s, with light winds out of the south in single digits. The winds will shift around to the north as the day progresses.

Chances for rain persist through the evening, but skies should be partly cloudy on Tuesday with a high in the low 60s.
