Wind chills as low as negative 15 — with the chance to reach negative 20 — are expected to arrive in Wichita this weekend, with the cold beginning late Thursday and lasting through Sunday. As for snow, the exact amount can be hard to forecast this early out, Baerg said, but the NWS is expecting at least a few inches.

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A growing list of events planned for the second half of this week across Kansas are being rescheduled due to a winter storm that’s anticipated to bring dangerously cold windchills and heavy snowfall to several areas, including Wichita.

Second Light's emergency shelter is preparing to take in extra people this weekend amid forecasted extreme weather conditions.

Friday is when the winter weather is expected in Wichita Falls, but don't be shocked if you notice something strange on the road the next few days.

Despite the cold start, seasonal weather is expected today with highs in the mid-50s along with sunny skies and a light breeze out of the south. Heading into tomorrow, temperatures start in the upper-30s before topping out in the upper-50s across the area.

As of Monday, the predicted high from the National Weather Service on Christmas Day is more like a May day in Wichita Falls.
