Wichita, Kansas – Storms will make a comeback in Kansas by Friday afternoon, with gusty winds and hail possible east of I-135. Meanwhile, patchy dense fog has slowed Thursday morning travel near the U.S. 400 corridor, especially in Cowley and Montgomery counties.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, Thursday starts mostly calm, but another round of isolated thunderstorms could develop Friday from late morning into the early evening. Any stronger storms may bring small hail, 20 mph wind gusts, and brief downpours — especially from El Dorado to Chanute.
Showers could linger into Friday night, but skies are expected to clear for a dry and sunny weekend. However, don’t let your guard down — additional storm chances return by Monday night, with rainfall likely continuing into Tuesday. The NWS projects a 50% chance of storms by Tuesday night, with continued shower chances through Wednesday.
Safety Tip: If you’re traveling Friday, especially along U.S. 400 or K-15, keep an eye on changing weather and use caution in hail-prone zones.
