Temperatures across southwest Kansas will be warmer today, averaging at least 10 degrees higher than yesterday (Thursday). Expect afternoon highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s.

Southwest Kansas can look forward to a dry and windy weekend. Highs on Saturday will be in the 50s but a cold frontal passage Saturday night will usher in a brief shot of unseasonably cold air on Sunday. Highs northeast of the Dodge City area may struggle to warm into the upper 30s.

Today's Winter Awareness Topic: Cold Weather Safety! What are Extreme Cold Watches and Warnings? These are relatively new alerts starting in 2024 that replaced "Wind Chill Watches/Warnings" under the National Weather Service Hazard Simplification Initiative that aimed to simply hazards into one overarching cold weather hazard, with or without wind impacts. While not listed in this graphic, this includes the newer Cold Weather Advisory replacing the old "Wind Chill Advisory". An Extreme Cold Watch means to be prepared for potentially dangerous cold temperatures or wind chills. An Extreme Cold Warning means to take action and that dangerously cold temperatures or wind chills are very likely to occur.
