Kansas spring weather invariably surprises me, even though I have lived here for 36 years. We have had a roller coaster February and March - warm, cold, warmer, colder, medium, warm, and then cold. Saturday, it was about 75 but so windy. I worked outside and it wasn't too bad, despite the annoying wind. Today, it was 90. We broke a record that was set in 1893. Besides it being so hot, the wind was blowing 35 - 45 miles an hour, all day long. Of course, the wind made it possible to be outside without sweating to death, but we could have done with about 20 mph less wind!
Then about 7:30 tonight, a cold front started through. The wind blew even harder and lightning raced across the sky, all the way from south to north. Luckily, it was east of us (and Babs can no longer hear or see it). By 8:00 the temperature had dropped to about 60. From 90 to 60 in less than an hour. It is supposed to nearly be freezing by 7:00 a.m. and Monday will only be in the 50s.
Stay tuned. You never know about the weather when it is spring in Kansas.
