Friday Forecast

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Today: Sunny. Highs in the mid-upper 50s. Winds N 5-15 mph.

The weekend has something for everyone: A beautiful day Saturday with winds 10-15 mph and rain by Sunday especially late morning into the afternoon. There is a low chance rain could start earlier in the morning or late Saturday night so timing of when rain will begin will continue to be monitored. Regardless it’ll be cooler Sunday with highs stuck in the 50s and gusts around 25 mph out of the southeast.

Rain will continue into Monday as we get on the backside of the storm system….this will also usher in a northerly wind by the afternoon and still with gusts around 25 mph. So be ready for a chilly, breezy and rainy day. Again uncertainty exists on if we’ll have scattered showers or widespread rain so that will determine how much rain there will be.

Tuesday through Thursday for Thanksgiving will likely remain dry although one model does indicate some precipitation in southern Nebraska on Thanksgiving that if that starts to trend south we may have some precipitation in northeast KS Thursday and possibly Friday. Models are also trending toward temperatures in the teens for lows and highs in the 30s on Black Friday and continuing through the rest of the holiday weekend. Of course with this still being more than a week out this may not end up being the case but it’s worth preparing for.
