Wichita, KS – Kansas residents enjoying unusually mild November weather should prepare for a noticeable temperature drop later this week. Afternoon highs in the 70s will give way to cooler, breezier conditions as a cold front moves through Wednesday, with overnight temperatures potentially falling below freezing by Thursday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, central, south central and southeastern Kansas will remain mostly sunny and mild through Tuesday, Nov. 10, before a cold front brings a shift toward colder conditions Wednesday, Nov. 11.
Monday and Tuesday: Warm November Weather Continues
Monday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies and afternoon highs between 71 and 74 degrees, with overnight lows ranging from 41 to 47 degrees.
Tuesday will bring another pleasant day, with highs between 66 and 73 degrees and nighttime lows between 44 and 50 degrees.
Wednesday: Cold Front Brings Breezy Conditions
A cold front is expected to move across the region Wednesday, bringing breezier conditions and slightly cooler temperatures.
Afternoon highs will range from 64 to 69 degrees, while overnight lows fall between 37 and 43 degrees.
The front will set the stage for a more significant cooldown heading into Thursday.
Thursday: Temperatures Fall Toward Freezing
By Thursday, Nov. 12, afternoon highs are expected to reach only 55 to 59 degrees across the forecast area.
The biggest concern arrives Thursday night into Friday morning, when temperatures could fall between 29 and 33 degrees.
Those readings would put some inland communities below the freezing mark, potentially affecting sensitive outdoor vegetation.
Residents should consider protecting temperature sensitive plants and preparing for colder early morning conditions.
While the forecast does not indicate a major winter storm, the transition from 70 degree afternoons to near freezing nighttime temperatures will mark a sharp change across central and southern Kansas.
