Wichita, KS – Wet roads and rumbling skies stretch across south-central Kansas this Friday morning as showers continue through the day. Periods of heavy rain and a few rumbles of thunder could slow travel and cause brief ponding in low-lying areas, especially near major routes like I-35 and U.S. 54.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, rain will linger into Saturday before tapering west to east by late evening. Some storms may produce gusty winds or downpours through midday Friday. The steady moisture, while inconvenient, is helping to ease dry fall conditions across much of central Kansas.
Saturday brings more scattered rain with highs in the upper 50s, followed by a break in the pattern Sunday as drier air slides in. Skies turn mostly cloudy, and a light breeze keeps conditions cool but comfortable, with highs near 62°F.
Looking ahead to early next week, isolated light showers could return Monday, though forecasters expect minimal impact. Temperatures will trend downward by Tuesday, dipping into the low 40s by sunrise. For now, no frost is expected, but colder mornings are coming as late fall takes hold.
Winter vibes have begun to settle across the Plains, even if snow remains off the radar for Kansas. As Halloween week approaches, trick-or-treaters can likely expect dry skies and jacket weather — crisp, calm, and classic for late October.
