What We’re Tracking
- Sunny and Mild today
- Windy with evening storms Saturday
- More active weather pattern for next week
We're starting off with clear skies this morning and winds already at 10-15 mph. Temperatures have remained mild as many are 40s and even some lower 50s.
Winds will be very gusty during the daytime with gusts around 40-50mph. They'll be from the southeast, which will help us warm up into the 70s later this afternoon with sunshine.
Our next system moves in for the middle of the weekend with showers and storms possible late tonight and into early Sunday. Pairing that with the potential for a line of storms to move through in the late afternoon and evening the main threats with the stronger cells will be damaging wind gusts leaving a slight risk for severe weather for the western half of the area. There may be some hail embedded in the line, as well.
Once that line of storms moves through, we'll clear out for Sunday, but we'll still be windy. Highs should make it up to near 70°, and winds will be gusting to around 30-40mph before relaxing Sunday night into Monday.
As of right now, we may end up with some scattered cloud cover across Northeast Kansas for the solar eclipse on Monday before yet another system moves in by Tuesday. That should bring another slight chance for showers and storms Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning.
