    Kansas Weather March 5 Morning - 28° Above Normal
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Kansas. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you opened the door this morning and couldn't see your neighbor's house, you're not imagining things. Dense fog has swallowed most of Kansas overnight. We're sitting at 47 degrees with visibility down to a quarter mile in spots. Marion County stays under a Dense Fog Advisory until 11 A.M., so take it slow on the roads. In the next 24 hours. Once that fog burns off by late morning, we're in for a surprisingly mild day. Northeast and south central Kansas hit 65 degrees. Western Kansas warms even more, topping out at 69 degrees. That's about 28 degrees above normal for early March — Out west, though, that warmth comes with a catch. Hamilton. Stanton. And Morton counties are under a Fire Weather Watch this afternoon. Gusty south winds and humidity dropping to 15 percent means any spark could spread fast. Not the day to burn trash. Tonight, things get interesting. Thunderstorms develop after 8 P.M. Across eastern Kansas, peaking around midnight. Some could pack large hail and gusty winds. Look up between the storms and you'll catch a full moon. Friday brings our best shot at severe weather. A strong cold front barrels through during the afternoon. Highs climb to 73 degrees ahead of it, then temperatures crash to 40 degrees by Friday night. That's a 33-degree drop in hours. Saturday cools to the mid-50s. Then the warmth surges back. Sunday hits the upper 60s. Monday pushes toward 78 degrees. Our next storm system arrives Tuesday with more rain chances. Spring equinox is just two weeks away. And today's weather is a preview of the wild swings that come with the changing season. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Thunderstorms roll in after 8 P.M. and continue into Friday morning. Some storms could be severe with large hail and damaging winds. Friday stays active with more storms developing ahead of a cold front. We hit the lower 70s before that front sweeps through. Then temperatures crash into the mid 50s for Saturday. The weekend recovers nicely. Sunday brings sunshine and highs near 70 degrees. Monday could approach 80 degrees out west—that's near record territory. Another system brings rain chances by Tuesday. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every day now. And the spring equinox is just two weeks away. Keep that extra blanket handy tonight.

Feels like spring is teasing you. Don't fall for it. Today kicks off the wildest temperature ride Kansas has thrown at us in weeks. We're talking record-flirting warmth, fire-danger winds. And winter's curtain call by Sunday. Buckle up. Start in the northeast. You hit 64 degrees by 3 P.M. Under partly sunny skies. Sounds perfect, right? Except those southwest winds gust to 32 miles an hour by late morning. The kind that'll yank your hat clean off. Tonight clouds roll in as temps ease to 37 degrees. Wednesday cools slightly to 58 degrees with a chance of rain overnight. Fire danger stays elevated today, so skip the backyard burn pile. Push south-central and the heat cranks higher. You're looking at 66 degrees by 3 P.M. With gusts near 30 miles an hour. Feels like someone opened an oven door. Tonight stays mild at 39 degrees. Wednesday brings another balmy 67 degrees before rain chances sneak in Wednesday night. But here's the twist.. Sunday crashes to 48 degrees with rain showers possible. That's a 20-degree nosedive from today. Now western Kansas? You're basically auditioning for summer. 71 degrees by 2 P.M. Yes, seventy-one. Winds shift north later today, but overnight lows only dip to 33 degrees before bouncing back. Wednesday holds at 70 degrees. Then Sunday reality-checks you at 44 degrees with a slight chance of snow showers. Classic Kansas whiplash. The pattern through Friday? Widespread 70s. Then a cold front slams the brakes this weekend. Sunday brings a 40-degree temperature crash in some spots, with rain and snow possible. Winter's last stand might be messy. Silver lining? We're gaining 2 minutes and 28 seconds of daylight today. Spring's coming.. Eventually. Enjoy the warmth today. Just watch those winds. And maybe keep that jacket close for Sunday.
