Dodge City, Kansas – Abnormally warm temperatures will continue across southwest Kansas through Monday before a noticeable cooldown arrives midweek.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Dodge City, Saturday through Monday will remain warmer than average for early February, with daytime highs climbing well above seasonal norms. Conditions are expected to stay dry with generally quiet weather through the period.
High temperatures across much of the region are forecast to reach the 60s and low 70s through Monday, particularly in communities along major roadways such as U.S. Highway 50, U.S. Highway 83, U.S. Highway 54, and Interstate 70. Overnight lows will remain relatively mild compared to typical February conditions.
By Tuesday, a cooldown is expected to move into the region, lowering temperatures by approximately 10 to 15 degrees. This cooler pattern is forecast to persist into Wednesday, bringing highs closer to seasonal averages. Despite the drop in temperatures, the overall forecast remains dry with no significant precipitation expected.
The National Weather Service notes that the extended stretch of dry and quiet weather limits the potential for travel disruptions, but the warm conditions may feel more like early spring than winter. Residents are reminded that dry weather combined with occasional breezy conditions can still elevate grass fire concerns, particularly in open and rural areas.
For commuters, agricultural workers, and outdoor crews, the warm weather through Monday may support extended outdoor activity, though changing conditions by midweek could require adjustments. Drivers along regional highways should remain alert for shifting weather patterns, especially during early morning temperature transitions.
No hazardous winter weather is expected during this period, and overall impacts remain minimal aside from the temperature swing. Residents are encouraged to continue monitoring local forecasts for updated timing details as the midweek cooldown approaches.
