Kansas starts the morning with a sharp chill hanging over south-central neighborhoods.
Temperatures sit in the low 40s, and a steady north wind adds bite to the air. Breath fogs briefly, and jackets stay zipped during early commutes. Roads across Wichita, including I-135 and Kellogg Avenue, remain dry and clear.
Sunshine quickly shifts the feel. By midday, bright skies help temperatures climb toward 59 degrees, easing the winter edge. Winds relax through the afternoon, making outdoor errands easier than the morning suggested.
Tonight turns calm and colder again. Mostly clear skies allow temperatures to fall near 31 degrees, creating a refreeze window. Any moisture on pavement could turn slick after dark, especially on bridges and overpasses.
Saturday keeps the warming trend intact. Mostly sunny skies push highs into the mid-50s, with light south winds developing. It feels more like early March than February, and visibility stays excellent for travel.
Sunday brings the biggest jump. Afternoon temperatures surge toward 67 degrees, delivering springlike warmth. Sunshine dominates, and winds remain manageable. Outdoor plans look favorable, though temperature swings remain noticeable after sunset.
Monday continues the mild pattern. Highs reach around 70 degrees, one of the warmest days so far this month. Clouds increase late Monday night as the next system approaches.
By Tuesday, the pattern turns more unsettled. A slight chance of rain develops, mainly during the day. While winter weather stays out of the picture for now, cooler nights could bring slick spots if rain lingers after sunset.
Looking ahead to the 6–10 day window, above-normal temperatures remain favored across Kansas. February warmth appears ready to linger, though periodic rain chances return midweek.
Plan layers for cold mornings, lighter gear by afternoon, and caution after dark.
