After last week's bitter cold and bout of snow, skies are expected to clear and the mercury will rise this week, the National Weather Service in Dodge City said.
After a high near 60 Monday, the high temperatures this week are expected to be in the mid- to upper-50s into Saturday. Winds, however, are expected to be 10 to 14 mph Monday, and Tuesday will bring 13 to 22 mph winds with gusts up to 32 mph.
Forecasters are also calling for an extended dry spell, with no precipitation expected for the next 10 days.
