Showers tracked into the Sunflower State this afternoon and have persisted through this evening. Rainfall first arrived along the Colorado state line around noon, and the bulk of the rain is now pushing into central Kansas.
Moisture will continue to track east through the evening. Heavy rainfall will be possible along and to the southeast of the turnpike late tonight into the early morning.
Southerly winds will help to keep temperatures on the warmer side overnight. Lows fall back into the 30s and 40s by daybreak.
Rain chances will linger for central Kansas tomorrow morning, while western Kansas will be drier but still locked in under the clouds.
Overall, most areas are expected to receive trace to a quarter inch of rainfall with this round of moisture. Areas in southeastern Kansas could see over a half inch of rain with the added showers on Monday.
Highs on Monday will range from the 50s to the 60s. While western Kansas will start the day off with overcast skies, sunshine should return by the evening.
Cooler air will rush into the state behind this storm system. We fall from the 60s on Monday to the 50s on Tuesday. Eventually, we dip into the 40s for the middle of the week with sunny skies overhead. Temperatures will be chilly but seasonal on Thanksgiving with highs in the low 50s.
Our next round of rain will arrive next weekend, with showers returning on Saturday. An active pattern will linger through the start of next week.
With temperatures trending much colder for next weekend, the possibility of seeing snowfall mixed in with the rain is becoming more likely. We will continue to monitor temperatures and potential moisture as we get closer to the arrival of this storm system.
