Fog and lingering showers early Monday in Cheyenne Wells, then dry and warmer by midweek
Patchy fog and a few leftover showers are possible early Monday in Cheyenne Wells, but the National Weather Service in Goodland, Kan., expects skies to improve and temperatures to climb into the upper 60s by Wednesday.
Rain and thunderstorms are likely Sunday night, with a 40 percent chance of showers lingering before 8 a.m. Monday and patchy fog before 10 a.m. Otherwise, Monday is expected to stay mostly cloudy, with a high near 59. Southeast winds of 5 to 10 mph should turn to the northwest in the afternoon.
Patchy fog may return after midnight Monday night, with a low around 40. Tuesday is forecast to be partly sunny with a high near 65, and Wednesday sunny with a high near 69.
Fog the main concern early in the week
A meteorologist at the National Weather Service forecast office in Goodland, Kan., wrote in Sunday's Area Forecast Discussion about "Patchy dense fog possible the next few mornings." The office also noted a low chance of flooding from the current system. It expected the heaviest rain to fall south of the area, in southwest Kansas and the panhandles, with locally heavier amounts of about an inch possible near the Kansas-Colorado-Nebraska border.
No Red Flag Warnings or other watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Cheyenne County, according to the Goodland office.
