Toasty temps mid-week, weekend turns unsettled

20 hours ago | ksn.com | Ronelle Williams

Wednesday will feel a lot more like summer rather than spring. Many high temperatures will reach the 90s and 80s. A cold front will start to move in from the northwest late in the day. Winds will be breezy as it continues to approach. Showers and storms will be nearby to the north and northwest during the evening. Northwest Kansas and Southwest Nebraska will be on the tail end of this activity. The northwest corner of the area will also be on the tail end of a severe storm risk.
Above average temps Tuesday and Wednesday

High pressure has not budged so Tuesday’s conditions will be similar to how we started the week. There is an approaching cold front that will soon bring stronger winds and a small chance for rain. After a mild morning we will warm back up into the 80s. A few 90s sneak into the area from the southwest. Before the cold front starts to move in there will be a small chance for a shower or storm to the northwest tonight. This chance is looking unlikely and most of us will stay dry.
Warm and sunny stretch continues this week

2 days ago | ksn.com | Ronelle Williams

We are picking up things right where we left off over the weekend. High pressure will keep us dry and sunny. Warmth will continue to start the new week too. High temperatures in the 80s will be widespread. Fire danger will be high today mainly to the north and in Nebraska. Furnas County in Southwest Nebraska will be under a Fire Weather Warning from 11am to 9pm. We will begin to see some highs in the 90s tomorrow in Western Kansas.
Bright skies this weekend and turning warmer

High pressure has built into the region and this will result in a dry and quiet start to the weekend. The Drought Monitor is through this past Tuesday, May 6, and then was released on Thursday, May 8, so it does not have Wednesday’s rain update. Therefore, we should see some improvements with next week’s update. After a cool start this morning we will warm up into the 70s. One or two spots farther north could reach the low 80s.
Storm Tracker Shoutout: Robinson Middle School in Wichita

6 days ago | ksn.com | Ronelle Williams

Sixth graders at Robinson Middle School in Wichita filled the bleachers of their gymnasium Wednesday to get a lesson on weather from KSN Storm Track 3 Meteorologist Ronelle Williams. Different types of severe weather and safety information were big topics. Students even took a virtual tour of the KSN Studio. Wednesday was a damp day but the heaviest rain subsided long enough for students to get outside for a quick look at Storm Tracker 3.
Not as damp Thursday and Friday

6 days ago | ksn.com | Ronelle Williams

It is not as damp this morning as an area of low pressure continues to move away from us to the east. Even though it has taken a lot of the moisture with it there will still be another chance for rain today. After a wet Wednesday we will need to watch out for patchy dense fog this morning. Give yourselves a couple of extra minutes before you head out the door just in case reduced visibility slows you down. Once the fog lifts, midday skies will be fair and partly cloudy.
Wet Wednesday, some rain lingers Thursday

A storm system is circulating showers into the area and this is what we can expect through the day. There has not been much lightning or thunder this morning but rainfall has been heavy at times. The rest of the morning and the afternoon will be damp. However, there will still be some breaks in the rain too. A Marginal Risk of severe weather to the southeast includes portions of Chautauqua County. This is where there could be a stronger storm later this afternoon and evening.
Rain moves in through Tuesday

1 week ago | ksn.com | Ronelle Williams

Many of us enjoyed a nice start to the week yesterday but we are about to get into another active stretch. Rainfall impacting Texas and Oklahoma early this morning is heading in our direction. Rain will mainly impact Southwest Kansas and Northwestern Oklahoma through mid-morning. Showers will continue to push into more of the Sunflower State through the rest of the morning and during the afternoon. While some embedded rumbles of thunder will be possible, severe weather is not expected.

Rain returns and will stick around through the week

Most of us are pretty dry to start the day. There have been a few light showers tracking through the southwest corner of the area. More clouds will gradually move in and there will continue to be a chance for rain mainly in Southwest Kansas and our Oklahoma Panhandle Counties. Some of this rain could sneak into portions of Northwest Kansas. High temperatures will be coolest to the southwest in the 50s. The rest of us will be in the 60s and 70s. We are anticipating more rain to move into the area.
