Wichita, Kansas – A warm and stormy stretch is on tap for Kansas this week as periodic thunderstorms roll in starting Tuesday evening, bringing rain chances through at least Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, thunderstorms could begin late Tuesday and become more scattered Wednesday, with highs holding steady in the low to mid-70s across much of the state. Cities like Hutchinson, Salina, and Great Bend can expect increased rain chances midweek, while areas in south-central and southeast Kansas may see heavier rainfall Thursday into Friday.
Storms are not expected to be severe at this time, but heavy downpours, lightning, and brief gusty winds could impact travel. Drivers are encouraged to use caution during evening commutes and check local updates. Outdoor plans may need adjusting, especially for Wednesday and Thursday afternoons when storm coverage increases.
The unsettled weather will bring a slight cool-down by Friday, with highs dipping into the mid-60s in some areas. Temperatures will rebound slightly by Saturday, but rain chances will linger.
This warm, stormy pattern is expected to persist into the weekend. More detailed advisories or warnings could be issued later this week as conditions evolve.
