Morning Forecast – Monday, March 17th
SUMMARY: On Monday, March 17th, temperatures start cold in the lower 40s, dropping to the upper 30s in some areas. However, bright sunny conditions will lead to a warm-up into the mid-70s by afternoon. Calm winds will shift as high pressure moves southeast, increasing to 5-10 mph later today and 15-20 mph by Tuesday. Expect milder evening lows around 50°F. Cloud cover and possible light showers may develop by Wednesday with a frontal boundary approaching. Temperatures will drop to the 60s later in the week but rebound to near 80°F by next weekend. Enjoy today’s pleasant weather!

High pressure has settled in helping to keep conditions clear and pleasant to kick off this Monday. An upper level low will track across Kansas helping to build a pressure gradient between the high pressure near the gulf coast. This will help to increase winds through tomorrow becoming breezy. A frontal system will arrive on Wednesday sparking up some clouds and a few patchy showers. A t-storm will be possible as well. Then we cool down late week to the lower 60’s for highs with mostly clear conditions. Our next best chance of rain and thunderstorms will come late weekend next Sunday with warming temperatures near lower 80’s.
