Sunday is shaping up to be a miserable day areawide.
A high wind warning is now in effect from 5 am to 10 pm for Chase and Greenwood counties — and from 7 am to 11 pm for Lyon, Coffey, Morris, Osage and Wabaunsee counties. Winds will shift from southwest to northwest, holding steady at 30-40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.
The wind speeds are part of the overall weather picture, which will likely deteriorate as the day progresses. After a high temperature in the mid-70s and overnight lows in the 50s Saturday, temperatures will essentially fall all day to around freezing by sunset. Lows could bottom out in the mid-teens, with wind chills at or near zero before sunrise Monday.
Light snow — less than half an inch — is expected after a period of rain showers, so there will be blowing snow and limited visibility, but the National Weather Service is not expecting any blizzard warnings due to the light snowfall total.
