Topeka, KS – Kansas will wake up to a deep freeze early next week as a blast of Arctic air sweeps across the Plains, sending temperatures plunging into the 30s and 20a overnight. According to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center, the strong cold front will surge south Monday, November 10, bringing the coldest air of the fall season by Tuesday morning, November 11.
The National Weather Service offices in Wichita and Topeka have issued freeze warnings for the entire state, marking the end of the growing season. Strong northwest winds gusting 25–35 mph behind the front will drive apparent temperatures sharply lower Monday night into Tuesday morning.
The Weather Prediction Center’s Day 3–7 Hazards Outlook places Kansas within the core of a broad “Frost/Freeze” corridor stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast — one of the earliest and most widespread November cold events in several years.
Tuesday’s highs will remain stuck in the upper-30s to near 40°F, roughly 20 degrees below seasonal norms. Skies will stay clear but the cold air mass will linger through midweek before gradual warming late week.
Residents are urged to protect pets and plants, wrap pipes, and prepare for slick bridges or frost on vehicles Tuesday morning.
