After another day with the thermometer nearing the 70-degree mark, the National Weather Service said winter is on its way back to the Hays area Thursday.
There is a 60 percent chance of a rain-snow mix beginning Thursday morning and lasting through Thursday night. While not much accumulation is expected, a north wind of 17 to 21 mph will lead to cold, blustery conditions.
The high Thursday is projected to be 36 degrees before rising back up to the mid- to upper-40s Friday and Saturday.
By Sunday, the mercury is expected to again top 60 degrees.
