A warmer air mass is taking over early this week. That said, with several inches of snow still on the ground to the west, it will make a drastic difference.
Those without snowpack warmed much more than those who faced 8″ of snow or more several days ago.
Temps overnight will fall to the 20s with snow leftover whereas others will not be as cold in the 30s.
Temperatures climb further on Tuesday from the 50s to the 60s.
A cold front dips south Tuesday into Wednesday. It brings back temps near the norm for midweek. This front will also be able to squeeze out a few sprinkles and rain showers.
Depending on the energy and moisture available on Wednesday, I would not be shocked to get a few flurries out of the sky over northern Kansas.
Temperatures try to recover on Thursday, especially for Western Kansas, only to get reset cooler by Friday due to another cold front coming through the state.
Winds will pack a stronger punch on Friday. Some gusts could be stronger than 50 MPH over our northwest counties. This area is also incredibly dry. We will need to watch for a higher grassland fire threat late this week. The weekend will be seasonably cool and dry.
