We are gearing up for a beautiful stretch of dry, warm and comfortable days. Through early evening, just across the state line to the south into Oklahoma, a daytime driven shower is possible. Overnight under a moonlit sky, we dip to the 40s and 50s which has been the norm this week. Temperatures turn up a few degrees this weekend. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s. Winds will be light and the humidity will be rather low.

Highs Friday afternoon climb to the 70s with some making it to the 80s. The weekend will be a beauty. Highs in the 70s and 80s across the state Saturday and Sunday.
Storm Tracker Shoutout: Rose Hill Intermediate School

1 week ago | ksn.com | Lisa Teachman

Today I stopped by Rose Hill to speak with some students. I was invited to discuss severe weather and storm safety at Rose Hill Intermediate School with its third graders. They were an excited bunch, asking a lot of questions and wanting to share their experiences with the tornado that hit Andover up the road back in 2022. We talked about a few notable Kansas tornadoes and how tornado sirens came to be here in Wichita.
Rain tapering off tonight, spotty showers Thursday

Showers and a few storms remain scattered across Kansas into early tonight. One or two could be stronger for hail farther to the southeast. Otherwise, we will see a general drop in activity after sundown this evening. A few showers may continue to pop overnight, although less folks will be able to catch this rain. Lows into Thursday morning will be coolest in the west and milder farther east.
Storm Tracker Shoutout: Amelia Earhart Elementary School in Goddard

1 week ago | ksn.com | Lisa Teachman

The school year is coming to a close — however, our spring severe weather season marches on. Today, I traveled to Goddard to speak to this large group of third grade students at Amelia Earhart Elementary School. We talked about tornadoes and how studying them for years has made us more aware of the right and wrong ways to stay safe. They know what to grab if they only have seconds to get to their tornado safe spot. They were excited to ask a lot of questions.
Slow moving system keeps showers around midweek

1 week ago | ksn.com | Lisa Teachman

A slow-moving storm system sitting to our southwest will keep churning rain and off/on showers through tonight. Northern Kansas will not gain as much moisture as the southern half of the state. Still anticipating that once this system exits later this week, our southwest counties will pick up the most beneficial rain. A Flood Watch remains in effect for our Oklahoma counties through part of tonight.
Rain chances ramping up this week, cooler temps arrive

Showers enter Southwest Kansas during the second half of today. A few showers will also reach as far as our northwest counties. Much of this activity will be diurnally driven or guided by the sunshine of the day and will wane after sundown. Overnight temperatures will cool to the 40s and 50s. Tuesday morning, another wave of rain and off/on showers will approach from the southwest. This will work into the Wichita area by the lunch hour and linger.
Pleasant weekend, unsettled pattern returns next week

An exiting system to our northeast will be capable of popping a random shower or downpour mainly over Central and Eastern Kansas through early evening. There will be a higher focus to the north/northeast of Wichita. This activity should wane with sundown. Overnight, it will be cool. There is a Frost Advisory for a handful of counties to the north and west through Saturday morning when temps briefly dip to the 30s in these areas. We are setting up for a gorgeous weekend.
Few storms tonight, staying comfortable this weekend

The next round of rain enters Southwest Kansas after 6 PM this evening. A few showers will also extend into our northwest counties. There is a small chance a stronger storm forms over the Oklahoma Panhandle, but this batch should largely behave, tracking to the east/southeast overnight. After midnight, Wichita will be on the northern edge of this wave and could catch a few raindrops before it exits. Lows will be chilly to the northwest, milder closer to Wichita.
Stanley Elementary School in Southwest Wichita

2 weeks ago | ksn.com | Lisa Teachman

Today, I had the chance to talk about severe storms and safety with Stanley Elementary School’s third grade students in Southwest Wichita. We discussed multiple forms of severe weather from tornadoes to flooding, hurricanes along with how hail forms. They know they are born with lightning detectors…our ears. If you hear thunder, you know you are close enough to be struck by lightning. The students also had a chance to check out Storm Tracker 3…our eyes and ears in the field that tracks storms.
