WICHITA, Kan. – Halloween night will bring cloudy skies and seasonably cool air across south-central and eastern Kansas, creating a comfortable setup for trick-or-treaters with no rain in sight.
According to the National Weather Service in Wichita, temperatures Friday evening will hover in the 50s between 6 and 9 p.m., with light winds and thickening clouds across much of the region.
