WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The National Weather Service says several low temperature and a snow record across Kansas have been broken this week as unseasonably cold weather moved across the region. National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Kleinsasser say that a large weather system over the Rockies this week pushed an unprecedented cold front into Kansas.
Among new records were a low of 47 degrees in Wichita on Tuesday, where the previous record had been 48 in 1890, and low of 41 degrees in Russell, where the previous record was 44 in 1962.
Goodland also saw its earliest measurable snow on record Wednesday with about a half-inch.
