half of an inch are possible but most places should receive less
than a quarter of an inch. Skies will be mostly cloudy overnight

Friday. Winds will generally be form a northerly direction today,
becoming light and variable tonight into Friday. As for
temperatures, lows this morning look to range from the upper 30s
along the I-70 corridor to mid 40s across south central Kansas.
Highs this afternoon look to only reach into the 50s due to the
ample cloud cover and cold air advection. Lows tonight will
generally fall into the 30s with below freezing across our western
