A fast-moving storm system has a chance to bring much-needed moisture to the Hays area Wednesday.
The National Weather Service in Dodge City said there is a 40 percent chance of rain beginning Wednesday afternoon, possibly changing to snow in the evening as temperatures drop.
The system will follow a near-balmy start to the work week, with clear skies and high temperatures near 60 degrees Monday and Tuesday.
The temperature Wednesday through Friday will top out in the low- to mid-40s.
The precipitation Wednesday is the only rain or snow in the long-range forecast, the NWS predicted.
