One forecast calls for clouds to give way to sunshine, with highs near 80°F Saturday and in the lower 80s Sunday.
North America is splitting into two weather worlds this weekend. A high-pressure ridge will keep Calgary, Alberta, and the central U.S. warm and dry, with temperatures climbing into the 70s and 80s. Columbian reports clouds will give way to sunshine and warm autumn afternoons. Meanwhile, a cold front will slam the Northeast, sending Boston and New Hampshire from unusually warm Friday weather into breezy, rainy conditions with highs stuck in the 50s by Tuesday.
Kansas is catching a break after a soggy week. Kansas News Network confirms dry conditions have settled over the state for the next seven days, though flood alerts remain in effect through Saturday. Rapid City, South Dakota will face wind gusts near 40 mph on Saturday before conditions calm down and warm up next week.
Western Heat Peaks Friday at 85 Degrees
Temperatures in the western and central plains will climb steadily through the week. Wichita, Kansas will reach 83°F on Wednesday and peak at 85°F on Friday. Calgary will stay unusually warm with highs between 19–24°C (66–75°F). This warmth is driven by a strong high-pressure ridge that's steering jet streams northward and locking in stable, sunny weather across the entire region.
The forecast calls for mostly dry conditions across British Columbia, Alberta, and Kansas for the next seven days. Columbian notes that clouds will give way to sunshine, with highs near 80°F on Saturday and in the lower 80s on Sunday. High winds will ease after Saturday, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities and allowing floodwaters in Kansas to recede.
Rapid City Faces Dangerous Wind Gusts Before Calm Returns
Rapid City, South Dakota will experience the week's most dramatic weather on Saturday. Wind gusts will approach 40 mph as a passing system moves through. The high winds create temporary concerns for soil erosion and fire risk. However, conditions will stabilize quickly, giving way to calmer, warmer weather by early next week.
The region will settle into comfortable autumn conditions once the winds subside. Sunshine and mild temperatures will dominate Monday through Friday, making it an ideal stretch for outdoor work and recovery efforts in flood-affected areas.
Northeast Cold Front Cuts Friday's Warmth Short
Boston, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire experienced unusually warm weather on Friday, but a cold front will erase that warmth by the weekend. Kansas News Network notes that temperatures across football games in Kansas drop into the 50s by the fourth quarter, a pattern mirrored in the Northeast. New Hampshire will stay mostly dry on Sunday, though a shower could arrive late Sunday night or Monday morning in the south.
By Tuesday, New England will settle into full autumn conditions. New Hampshire forecasts breezy winds and highs restricted to the 50s°F. Northern New Hampshire and the Philadelphia area face the best chance of showers over the weekend. This sharp drop mirrors the classic "Rex Block" atmospheric pattern—a strong upper-level ridge in the West pushing cooler air down the East Coast.
Kansas Flood Alerts Persist Despite Dry Week Ahead
Despite the upcoming week of dry weather, Kansas faces lingering water concerns. Flood alerts remain in effect through Saturday as standing water recedes slowly. Kansas News Network confirms that the next seven days will be completely dry, which will accelerate drainage and help saturated soil recover before harvest activities begin.
Farmers and municipal officials welcome the dry forecast as a chance to recover from recent excessive rainfall. The combination of mild temperatures in the 60s and 70s and zero precipitation over seven days will allow fields to dry out and reduce immediate flood risks across the Sunflower State.
