Meager moisture mid-week, be weather aware Thursday

Most of us are starting the day dry while others start the day stormy. There is a narrow band of showers and storms stretching from Southwest to North Central Kansas. Storms have been behaving and are not expected to become severe.

Stormy activity early this morning will gradually fizzle out after daybreak and skies will be drier and sunny into the afternoon. There will be some new storms nearby to our south and east during the afternoon but are not expected to impact our area.

Now that we are behind another cold front you will notice a cooler, but comfy, start this morning. High temperatures in the afternoon will be pleasantly warm.

A weak piece of energy swings into Western Kansas later this evening, sparking a shower or rumble of thunder. There is a small chance that a few raindrops reach Central Kansas during the overnight but the majority of us will be dry by that time.

Temperatures start to warm back up tomorrow but many of us will not be too toasty. Wichita is typically around the low 80s this time of year.

Thursday will be our next weather aware day. The day starts pretty dry but by the afternoon there will be some isolated, discrete storms that develop.

Much of the area is under a risk for strong to severe storms. All forms of severe weather will be possible.

Storms will continue to be isolated as we head into the evening. At the same time, there will be a front that starts to swing in from the northwest. This will spark more potential storms that will track to the east and southeast through Thursday night.

Storms will wrap up by mid morning Friday as they keep tracking to the east. The rest of Friday and the start of Memorial Day Weekend will be mainly dry. However, there will be some on and off storms Saturday and Sunday. Memorial Day through the middle of next week does not look as active.
