Winter arrived in wicked fashion Wednesday evening as Winter Storm Elliott blew into western Kansas, causing the temperature to plunge drastically in a matter of minutes.

But the National Weather Service in Dodge City is predicting the cold snap will be relatively short-lived. A high of 13 is forecast Friday, rising to 24 Saturday and 39 Sunday.

By Tuesday, though, the high temperature is now predicted to be in the low- to mid-50s. 

Conditions will be partly to mostly sunny well into next week, the NWS said. No precipitation is expected for at least the next week.
