A cold front moving across Kansas will cause the mercury to take a dramatic drop Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Topeka said.

A daytime high in the upper-50s will fall to 13 overnight, with a high in the upper-20s expected Thursday in the Junction City area.

Northwest winds will be sustained at 15 to 20 mph, gusting to 30 mph Wednesday night through Thursday.

The temperature will rebound beginning Saturday, with highs in the upper-40s Saturday and low-60s Sunday. There is a slight chance of rain or thunderstorms Sunday night, the NWS said.
