Weather Story

The Rain Returns

Dense fog has developed across portions of north central and northeast Kansas, reducing visibility to one quarter of a mile or less. Please use caution if driving this morning! Visibility is expected to improve after 9 AM.

Dense fog this morning across north-central and northeast Kansas will dissipate by 10 a.m. Today and Friday will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s. A cold front and upper-air disturbance will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday. Sunday will be mostly cloudy with periods of rain and a few thunderstorms.

We're back to a wet pattern! Many places across eastern KS have seen 2-5" of rain over the past week, including 3.61" at our office here in Topeka. Even after a very wet April through July this was some needed rainfall, coming on the heels of a stretch from August 1 to September 8 that was the driest such period on record. We'll dry out some over the next few days before rain chances increase again late Saturday into Sunday.
