Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service Wichita KS
457 PM CDT Sat Aug 9 2025

Morning cloud cover gradually shifted east through the day to make
way for ample sunshine across most of the Sunflower State during
the afternoon with the exception being the eastern quarter.
Temperatures rose to a range from the upper 80s in the far north
to primarily the upper 90s other than Medicine Lodge which was
definitely the hot spot of the day topping out around 107 degrees.
Winds were variable and light for many locations with the highest
speeds in the central portions of the state with speeds around 15
mph and gusts near 25 mph.

Thunderstorms have developed from western Nebraska to along the
Front Range. This activity will push to the east into Kansas this
evening and tonight. Another area of development for showers and
storms is across northern Kansas into northern Missouri. Stronger
storms could produce hail up to two inches in diameter and wind
gusts to 75 mph. Heavy rain could lead to flooding from
northeast Kansas into Missouri as well. If you are camping or
spending time outdoors this evening in any of the mentioned areas,
make sure to have ways of receiving warnings and a plan for
shelter. Overnight temperatures should drop to a range of the mid
50s in western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado to the upper
70s in Oklahoma. Winds become light and variable overnight in the
Central Plains with values around 5 to 10 mph.

Chances for showers and thunderstorms continue into Sunday this is
in part due to a cold front sliding further south. Cooler air
along with cloud cover and precipitation will drop temperatures
for all but Oklahoma and southern Kansas. The range will be from
the mid 70s to the the upper 90s. Winds ahead of the front will be
out of the south and behind it they will be out of the northeast
with both areas having speeds at 5 to 15 mph.
