Wichita, KS – Wichita will heat up fast Wednesday with sunny skies, gusty winds, and a high near 93°F — the first of several days of intensifying summer heat across south-central Kansas. Wind gusts up to 26 mph could create difficult conditions for high-profile vehicles and anyone working outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, south winds will pick up by late morning and continue through the evening. Lows Wednesday night will only drop into the mid-70s, providing little overnight relief. Temperatures climb further Thursday and Friday, peaking near 98°F by the end of the workweek.
