Dodge City, KS – After several days of chilly conditions, a noticeable warm-up is set to arrive in Dodge City on Monday, bringing a dramatic temperature swing that residents will feel from morning through afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Dodge City, overnight temperatures Sunday night are expected to dip into the low 20s, with Dodge City forecast to bottom out near 22 to 23 degrees. However, that cold start will not last long. By Monday afternoon, temperatures are projected to climb into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees, marking one of the mildest days the area has seen in recent weeks.
Forecasters say Monday will feature mostly sunny skies, allowing temperatures to rebound quickly after sunrise. Light winds will also help make the afternoon feel more comfortable compared to recent days dominated by colder air.
Communities across southwest Kansas are expected to see similar warming trends. Nearby cities such as Garden City, Liberal, and Hays are forecast to reach the mid to upper 50s, with some locations potentially touching the low 60s by peak afternoon heating.
While the daytime warmth will be welcome, residents are reminded to dress in layers. Early morning hours will still feel winter-like, especially for those heading to work or school before sunrise. Pet owners and early commuters should remain cautious of cold-sensitive conditions overnight.
The National Weather Service notes that this warm-up signals the end of the recent chilly stretch, at least temporarily. No precipitation is expected Monday, making it an ideal day for travel, outdoor errands, or catching up on activities postponed by colder weather.
Residents are encouraged to enjoy the brief taste of mild conditions while staying updated on future temperature changes later in the week.
