Kansas residents will experience cooler temperatures today, but a warming trend is expected midweek. Tuesday’s high will range from 72 to 77 degrees, accompanied by breezy conditions. However, temperatures will rise sharply by Wednesday, with highs reaching the upper 80s and nearing 95°F by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service, this weather shift will primarily affect Central and South-Central Kansas, including areas along major highways like I-35. Officials urge residents to prepare for the heat wave, especially those traveling along the I-35 corridor.
With highs expected to hit 90°F or above by Saturday, residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours. The weather service also cautions against leaving pets or children in parked cars as temperatures inside vehicles can quickly soar.
Looking ahead, sunny skies are expected throughout the week, making it critical for those working outside to take breaks and stay cool. The heatwave is predicted to last through the weekend, bringing potentially dangerous conditions to the region.
