Here we go again, a warm-up is expected in the week ahead. Hold on, it's not going to be a heatwave like we experienced in August/September. Temperatures will climb into the 80s by Tuesday and stay in the mid-80s through next weekend.

Perfect day to get outside and enjoy the pleasant weather. After a cool moving across Kansas, temperatures will warm up into the 70s again today.

These comfortable temperatures will continue through Monday, then we return to the 80s the rest of the week.

Quiet weather will continue.

Wichita Weather "Fun Facts and Stats" for October.

Obviously October is a transition month from Summer to Winter and it can get cold. Back in 1993 the temperature dropped to 18 above zero on Halloween, and way back in 1917 the temperature dropped to 14 above zero on October 30th.

Fortunately, nothing like that in our forecast this year 🤞.

Did you sleep with the window(s) open last night?
Now this is Fall weather. Morning low temperatures across Kansas from the Kansas State University- Kansas Mesonet Weather site

40 degrees 6mi south of Kinsley, KS... that is "cold" in my book.

It's a slow weather day...
Ever wonder...not if aliens out there, but how many miles away is 63 light-years?

Well it's far, far away. Approximately 370 trillion miles away from Earth.

To put that number in perspective, if you traveled around the Earth (along the equator) almost 15 billion times... that would be equivalent to 370 trillion miles. Hypothetically, If you jumped on a non-stop commercial airline to complete this task it would take you 76.9 million years. Putting 76.9 million years in perspective... the extinction of dinosaurs happened about 66 million years ago.

Now you know...it's far, far away.
