Wichita, Kansas – Hot and muggy weather will persist across Kansas this weekend, with high temperatures climbing into the mid-90s and a growing risk of thunderstorms across the southern half of the state.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, southeast Kansas—including cities like Coffeyville, Winfield, and Chanute—faces a 30–40% chance of storms Saturday, with those odds increasing to as high as 60% by Sunday night. Monday brings another round of scattered showers, particularly south of U.S. Highway 400, with storm chances ranging from 20–50%.
Today’s forecast includes highs of 94°F in Topeka and Salina, 92°F in Wichita and Hutchinson, and 89°F in Eureka where isolated storms are possible. Roadways may become slick in areas seeing heavier rainfall, and lightning poses a hazard for outdoor workers and weekend events.
Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and monitor for updated watches or warnings—especially overnight Sunday into Monday when severe weather chances increase.
Storm activity could continue into early next week. Additional advisories may be issued for southeast Kansas depending on system development.
