Wichita, Kansas – Scattered storms could dampen weekend plans across southeast Kansas, with the highest risk for thunderstorms arriving Sunday night as temperatures climb into the low to mid-90s.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, a 40% chance of storms will impact the region Friday, particularly in southeast counties including Montgomery, Labette, and Cherokee. Saturday’s chances dip slightly to 30%, but high humidity and afternoon heat could still trigger isolated activity. By Sunday, a more organized system is expected to bring increased rain chances—especially overnight—as a front pushes into the state.
Cities like Parsons, Independence, and Coffeyville could see localized downpours and gusty winds late Sunday. Wichita and surrounding areas will stay hot and muggy, with highs consistently between 90 and 95 degrees and overnight lows in the 70s.
Residents are advised to stay weather-aware through the weekend, especially if planning outdoor events. Keep phones charged for weather alerts and avoid travel during downpours. Rainfall may be brief, but intense in spots.
Storm chances remain elevated into early next week as the front lingers. Updates will continue as timing and severity become clearer.
