Wichita, KS — Residents should brace for scorching conditions today, with a high of 93°F expected. Winds from the southwest will make conditions breezy but won’t offer much relief from the heat. Temperatures are forecasted to drop to 60°F overnight, giving some reprieve after a day of intense heat.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday brings cooler temperatures, with highs around 81°F. Winds from the north will blow in cooler air at 8 to 11 mph. Residents should prepare for Monday’s high of 78°F, continuing the downward trend, making it a pleasant start to the workweek. However, with clear skies and light winds, this sunny stretch could keep outdoor activities enjoyable throughout.
As the weekend progresses, expect gusts of wind on Saturday to reach up to 28 mph, making travel on highways such as I-235 slightly challenging, especially for high-profile vehicles. Wind gusts could impact outdoor plans, so it’s advisable to secure loose items and keep hydrated if spending time outside today.
