The exception to this will be our 6 northern zones where

end from west to east tomorrow morning. Rain fall amounts of up to a 

half of an inch are possible but most places should receive less 

than a quarter of an inch. Skies will be mostly cloudy overnight 

through much of the day with clearing from west to east this 

afternoon. Mostly clear skies are expected for the first half of 

tonight with some mid to high level clouds after midnight into 

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 

half. Highs Friday will reach into the 50s. The NBM then keeps 

western Kansas dry through the remain of the forecast with high
