Regional Weather Summary
National Weather Service Wichita KS
452 PM CDT Tue Apr 14 2026

Breezy and warm conditions encompassed Kansas today, as low
pressure approached from the west. Late afternoon temperatures
were mostly in the 80s, although 70s were noted over far northwest
Kansas. The gusty southwest winds and warm temperatures supported
elevated grassfire danger over generally the western half of
Kansas.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected this evening and
overnight over mainly the eastern half of Kansas, as a storm
system approaches from the west. Severe weather is possible, with
large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes the main threats,
especially before midnight. Pockets of heavy rainfall and
localized flooding are possible as well. Forecast low temperatures
range from mild 60s over central and eastern Kansas, to chilly
30s over far western Kansas.

Additional strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Wednesday
afternoon and evening, mainly along and east of the Kansas
Turnpike, as the storm system finally moves into Mid-America.
Forecast high temperatures are in the 70s and 80s, coolest over
northwest Kansas.
