Weekend temperatures swing more than 50 degrees

By BECKY KISER

The weekend temperatures in Hays went up — way up, and then down — way down.

Official statistics from the K-State Agricultural Research Center south of town recorded a high of 67 degrees Sat., Feb. 3. Although unusually warm, it was not a record high. That was 76 degrees set in 1946.

The temperature plunged overnight to a low of 13 degrees. Sunday started with a little bit of snow, 0.02 inches, yielding 0.01 inches of moisture. Sunday’s daytime high was just 15 degrees, 52 degrees colder than the day before.

More roller coaster temperature changes are on the way. Monday’s forecast is calling for a high of 45 degrees. Snow should start falling late Monday night, with up to four inches of accumulation Tuesday as the daytime temp creeps up to 22 degrees.

Hays has had 6.5 inches of snowfall so far this season.
