Salina, KS – A mix of warm temperatures and thunderstorms will keep Kansas residents on alert this week. With highs reaching 88°F today, scattered storms are expected to develop, bringing brief but intense showers across central Kansas. Residents should be prepared for isolated thunderstorms, particularly on Wednesday, with the potential for localized flooding in low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service, the stormy weather will continue through Thursday, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s by midweek. As the warm front lingers, the risk of thunderstorms remains high, especially in the morning hours.
Tuesday night will also offer a unique spectacle for Kansas skywatchers. A partial lunar eclipse will begin at 8:41 p.m. EDT, with the peak occurring at 10:44 p.m. At that time, 8% of the Supermoon will be covered by Earth’s shadow, creating a rare visual treat. The eclipse will last until 12:47 a.m. on Wednesday.
Locals are encouraged to monitor the weather closely and find safe viewing locations for Tuesday night’s Supermoon eclipse. Stormy skies could obscure the view, but if the clouds part, the lunar event will be a stunning end to an active weather day.
