Wichita, Kansas – Temperatures across central and southern Kansas are climbing into the upper 80s this weekend, with isolated thunderstorms possible Saturday and Monday afternoons.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, highs will range from 83 to 88 degrees on both days, while Sunday remains slightly cooler with fewer storm chances. The strongest storms may develop late in the day, especially in areas around Hutchinson, Salina, and Winfield.
Saturday and Monday’s storm chances could bring brief downpours, lightning, and gusty winds, although most areas will remain dry. Outdoor plans should factor in the risk of pop-up storms, particularly after 4 p.m.
Drivers are urged to watch for slick roads if showers develop quickly. Those attending weekend events should stay weather-aware and have shelter options nearby. Though no widespread severe weather is expected, the heat and humidity will be noticeable.
Storm chances taper off by Tuesday, but warm weather continues into next week. Another round of updates is expected by Sunday evening if Monday’s storm potential increases.
