Skies will clear after rain, but more may be on the way

Posted May 22, 2020 2:17 PM

After a Thursday night storm brought needed moisture to the area, skies are expected to clear to begin the long Memorial Day weekend.

Most of the county received between a half and three-quarters of an inch of rain, with the K-State Ag Research Center reporting 0.74 inches of rain in Hays.

The National Weather Service in Dodge City is calling for partly sunny skies Friday with a high in the mid-70s. That high will jump to near 90 on Saturday, the NWS said.

But Saturday will be windy, as well — up to 17 mph in the afternoon with gusts approaching nearly 30 mph.

There is a slight chance of thunderstorms early Sunday morning, with an increasing chance Sunday night. Storms are again possible on Memorial Day, as well.
