Our next weather maker is in sight. A cold front will begin to move in from the northwest today and will result in a string of unsettled days ahead.
The front will also bring a temperature change. Before it arrives, high temperatures today will be warm again.
The rest of the morning will be mainly dry. As the cold front approaches there is a small chance for a late day shower or storm.
There is a better chance for storms during the evening as most of them push into Western Kansas. A shower or storm will remain possible farther east too.
The strongest storms are expected to impact Western Kansas. The greatest risk for a severe storm will be in Northwest Kansas and Southwest Nebraska.
All forms of severe will be possible. To the northwest is where there is risk for a tornado. This is also where the front will be situated during the evening.
Showers and storms will impact more of the area through the night. Early risers tomorrow morning will want to allow at least a few extra minutes for their commute due to wet and stormy weather.
Scattered showers and storms will stick around through Wednesday. Rainfall could be heavy at times.
Temperatures will start to cool down Wednesday. Highs will be in the 70s and low 80s.
With the front still draped across the region the latter part of the week, scattered rain and rumbles will continue Thursday. However, chances do not look as good. Especially by the time we wrap up the work and school week Friday.
If you have outdoor plans this upcoming weekend, keep an eye on the forecast as a chance for rain lingers Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures will be pleasantly warm too.
