With just a few days left of the school year, students are eyeing the outdoors from their classrooms — thoughts of parks and pools, kites and hikes on their minds.

At the same time, in a typical northwest Kansas weather twist, their parents are thinking about covering the outdoor plants to protect them from an anticipated May frost.

The National Weather Service has issued a frost advisory from 1 a.m. to 10 a.m. Tuesday, with low temperatures expected to range from 33 to 36 degrees. The cold air will be accompanied by winds ranging from 15 to 20 mph.

The advisory includes Trego and Ellis counties, including Hays, WaKeeney, Ellis and much of northwest Kansas.

While skies will be clear Tuesday, the week’s weather could include more precipitation, as well, with a 50 percent to 60 percent chance of thunderstorms through Wednesday night. A slight chance of storms continues through Sunday.
