    Feels Like 4 Degrees | Kansas Weather
    Feb 23 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Kansas Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. Step outside right now and that 15 degrees will slap you awake faster than any coffee. But here's the plot twist.. By tomorrow afternoon, you'll be peeling off layers like it's April. Right now, the whole state is locked in the deep freeze. Northeast Kansas sits at 14 degrees. South Central at 20. Western Kansas at 15. But watch what happens by this afternoon. Western Kansas rockets to 52 degrees by 5 P.M., while Northeast Kansas only climbs to 38. That's a 14-degree gap across the state, all thanks to stubborn high pressure camping out in the east. Tonight, lows dip to 12 in the northeast, 21 in South Central. And 15 out west. Then around 5 A.M. Tuesday, the winds flip from north to northwest in the northeast. And that's your signal. The warm-up is here. By Tuesday afternoon, every region jumps 25 to 30 degrees. Northeast Kansas hits 62. South Central reaches 65. Western Kansas? A balmy 70 degrees. In February. And it sticks around through Friday, with highs in the 60s and low 70s. Wednesday night brings a cold front with light rain, mostly central and eastern regions. Just a tenth of an inch or less, enough to knock temps back to the upper 50s Thursday. Then Friday and Saturday? Back to 70 degrees statewide. Sunday reality checks in with highs in the 40s and 50s, plus a slight chance of rain and snow up north. One heads up.. Fire danger spikes Tuesday and Friday in Western and South Central Kansas. Gusts to 25 miles an hour and humidity in the teens make even small sparks dangerous. Hold off on burning anything. Classic Kansas. Freezing at sunrise, practically summer by tomorrow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Kansas Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Kansas Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Grab your coat one last time, because winter's about to pack its bags for a while. Step outside right now and you're feeling 22 degrees. Not terrible, but this is the coldest day you'll see for a week. By Tuesday, we're jumping 30 degrees. Yeah, you read that right. Northeast Kansas, you're hitting 35 degrees around 4 P.M., but those northwest winds gusting to 30 miles an hour will keep you honest. Tonight drops to 15 by 4 A.M., feeling more like 5 with that wind. South Central warms to 41 by 3 P.M., then falls to 21 overnight. Western Kansas, you're the warm spot at 41 around 4 P.M., but you'll still hit 15 by sunrise. Here's where it gets wild. Monday climbs into the upper 30s and low 40s. Then Tuesday? We're talking 60s statewide, with Western Kansas flirting with 70. That's mittens to sunglasses in 48 hours. Wednesday night brings a cold front with a slight chance of light rain — nothing heavy, just enough to settle the dust. Thursday cools slightly to the 50s and 60s, then Friday bounces right back near 70 under sunshine. So Dress warmly today. By Tuesday, you'll be wondering where you put your sunglasses. Spring's not tiptoeing in — it's kicking down the door. Quick thing — if this forecast helped you plan your week, share it with someone who could use a heads up. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Kansas Weather: 02-21-2026
    Feb 21 2026
    Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Kansas Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th, and this cold is absolutely brutal. Northeast Kansas is sitting at minus 52 degrees right now. Let that sink in. That's the kind of cold where exposed skin gets frostbite in minutes. If you're up there, stay inside. Period. Drive south a few hours to Wichita and you'll find 26 degrees. That feels downright tropical by comparison. Western Kansas splits the difference at 19 degrees. Here's the deal for today. Northeast Kansas stays dangerously cold with a slight chance of light snow. South Central Kansas crawls toward freezing by afternoon, but the wind keeps it feeling sharp. Western Kansas? Locked in the teens with maybe a flurry or two. Tonight the bottom drops out again. Northeast Kansas could plunge to minus 55. South Central falls to 15 degrees. Western Kansas hits 10. Wind chills across the state are going to bite hard. Sunday brings a slow crawl back. Northeast Kansas struggles up to minus 30. South Central warms to 32 degrees. Western Kansas reaches 22. Still cold, but your car might actually start. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're stuck in this deep freeze pattern through Wednesday. No big warm ups, no major storms. Just relentless, teeth chattering cold day after day. Air quality sits at moderate, so sensitive groups you'll want to limit time outside. One bright spot worth holding onto. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day. Sunrise at 6:32, sunset at 5:19. The sun hasn't forgotten us. Alright, quick favor. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. Bundle up if you're heading out. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    Kansas Weather: 02-20-2026 6 AM ET
    Feb 20 2026
    Good morning, folks! I'm Aaron Jolly, and you're listening to the 6 AM Kansas Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd, and your coffee's hot but the air outside is surprisingly gentle. Step out the door and you'll feel 42 degrees across most of the state. That's downright friendly for late February. Northeast Kansas sits right at that mark with a light northwest breeze around 6 to 10 miles an hour. Dry skies all day. Nothing dramatic. Just a calm, easy Friday. South Central Kansas? Same story. 42 degrees, light winds, not a drop of rain in sight. Here's the thing though. Drive west and the thermometer dips to 37 degrees. Western Kansas also has a slight chance of drizzle sneaking in later. Don't cancel anything over it. We're talking maybe a 2 in 10 shot. Now here's what gets me excited. Tomorrow, temperatures start climbing. Northeast Kansas pushes near 50 degrees. South Central hits 52. Even western Kansas warms into the mid 40s. By Sunday, most of the state cracks the 50s. That's the kind of late February gift you don't question. You just enjoy it. Air quality sits at moderate today, so sensitive groups might want to take it easy outdoors. Sunrise rolls in at 6:33 this morning. Sunset at 5:18. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every single day now. Golden hour hits around 4:38 this afternoon. Perfect excuse to step outside and breathe. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Dry conditions hold through the weekend with that nice warming trend. Early next week stays pleasant with highs hovering in the upper 40s to low 50s. No major storm systems on the horizon. Just steady, quiet weather carrying us toward March. Alright. If you're enjoying these morning updates, share us with a friend who likes knowing what the sky's up to. I'll be back at 9 AM with a fresh look. Stay safe out there, Kansas!
