Dodge City, KS – A completely dry weather pattern continues to grip southwest Kansas, with no precipitation expected through at least Tuesday, November 18. According to the National Weather Service Dodge City office, the region will extend its streak of rain-free days well into next week as high pressure maintains control.
Forecasters say November typically favors dry conditions in southwest Kansas, and this year is no exception. The latest projected rainfall map shows a broad area of zero accumulation across the region through Tuesday, while widespread precipitation remains confined to the West Coast and northern Rockies.
Several computer model solutions indicate that rain chances may return around November 20, but meteorologists caution that confidence is still low and details remain uncertain. Even if the pattern shifts, any potential rainfall next week is more likely to fall east of southwest Kansas, following the area’s typical November trend.
Until then, the region will remain dry with cool mornings and mild afternoons. Residents should continue to be mindful of elevated fire danger on windy days due to the lack of moisture and very dry ground conditions.
