Although there is a slight chance of sprinkles or flurries Saturday morning, a weekend warmup is right around the corner, the National Weather Service in Topeka said.

After Friday and Saturday highs in the upper-50s, the mercury will jump to nearly 70 on Sunday.

The warm air Sunday will be accompanied by strong winds, sustained at 15 to 25 mph and gusting to 35 mph — increasing the risk of wildfires.

The work week will begin warm as well, with a Monday high in the upper-50s. By Tuesday, the chance of rain or snow returns to the Junction City area.
