Here's an updated look at the forecast for our central/south central NE and north central KS coverage area, with the primary focus on Monday-Tuesday, followed by a peek ahead to later this week and next weekend.
- MONDAY-TUESDAY: Unseasonably-warm temperatures continue, with high temperatures in the 60s most places on Monday, and in the 70s most places on Tuesday. In fact, record high temps could be set in parts of our area Tuesday. While winds on Monday will be very light, Tuesday is another story as a low pressure system passing through our region will crank up winds out of the southwest and west, with especially the afternoon- evening featuring gusts of 30-45 MPH. Thanks to these strong winds, very warm temperatures and very low relative humidity (RH), there will be heightened concern for potential wildfires Tuesday afternoon, and our entire forecast area is currently under a Fire Weather Watch.
- PEEKING AHEAD TO LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND: There is high confidence that it will turn colder from Thursday onward...with high temperatures more typical of February in the 30s-40s. Of lower confidence are precipitation and snow chances, as forecast models range anywhere from us staying mostly dry, to perhaps getting a couple of rounds of snow (one on Thursday, maybe another Saturday?). There is FAR too much forecast uncertainty to say much more than that at this point, but just keep in mind that it will start feeling "more like winter" again one way or another.
