ISSUED AT 238 PM CST WED FEB 19 2025
WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT TONIGHT AS THE RIDGE AXIS OF THE AREA OF
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA AND ALLOW LEE TROUGHING TO
DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. CLOUD COVER WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
DECREASE OVERNIGHT LEADING TO OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR LOWS TONIGHT TO DIP INTO THE NEGATIVE SINGLE DIGITS WITH
NEGATIVE TEENS POSSIBLE IN OUR NORTHERN ZONES. EVEN THOUGH THE WINDS
WILL BE LIGHT, WIND CHILLS MAY ONCE AGAIN DIP INTO THE NEGATIVE
TEENS TO AROUND -20F. LEE TROUGHING WILL INCREASE IN INTENSITY
TOMORROW WITH BREEZY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS EXPECTED BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. EXPECT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH HIGHS
REACHING INTO THE TEENS WITH 20S POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR SOUTHWESTERN
KANSAS. ANOTHER COLD MORNING IS POSSIBLE TOMORROW NIGHT WITH LOWS
DIPPING TO AROUND ZERO DEGREES AND WIND CHILLS IN THE NEGATIVE
TEENS. A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES MAY BRING A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW ACROSS OUR NORTHERN ZONES FRIDAY, OTHERWISE
EXPECT AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER. HIGHS FRIDAY LOOK TO RANGE FROM
THE 20S ACROSS CENTRAL KANSAS TO AROUND 40 DEGREES ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS. A WARMING TREND IS THEN EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND
INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH DRY CONDITIONS. HIGHS LOOK TO
REACH INTO THE 40S TO 50S SATURDAY, 50S TO 60S SUNDAY, AND AROUND 70
DEGREES MONDAY. LOWS WILL START OUT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS
SATURDAY MORNING AND MODERATE UPWARD INTO THE 30S BY THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK.
