The Wichita, Kansas area is experiencing above average temperatures that are expected to persist for the time being. There is no indication of any significant cold weather until around the New Year’s holiday. However, foggy conditions are anticipated on Christmas morning, which may cause travel delays, particularly in central and eastern Kansas.
Temperatures over the next few days will be a mix of 40s and 50s. On Tuesday, there will be some clearing in the afternoon, with highs expected to reach the low to mid 50s in western Kansas. Light winds will be present during this time.
Christmas Day is expected to be foggy and cloudy, with little to no rain. Temperatures will reach mainly in the 40s.
