A strong cold front will push its way through the region Wednesday evening, according to the National Weather Service at Dodge City.
North winds of 25 to 35 mph will be accompanied by a possibility of precipitation in the form of drizzle or freezing drizzle, as the temperature is expected to fall to the low- to mid-20s overnight. Those conditions are more likely to occur in southwest Kansas. Extreme northwest Kansas including Goodland also could experience some ice, according to the NWS’s Goodland office.
The threat of freezing drizzle should end by daybreak Thursday, the NWS predicted.
The temperature will make a hard turn from winter back to fall by Saturday, with temperatures moving well into the 70s, the NWS said. Weekend winds of 10 to 15 mph, the NWS also is warning of an elevated fire risk.
