Forecast for Wichita drivers: Fog on Monday morning commute

It will continue to be chilly for the morning commute Monday with a possibility of fog, but there shouldn’t be any of the wintry precipitation that affected the Wichita area over the weekend.

Kevin Darmofal, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Wichita office, said Monday will see highs in the upper 30s with a chance for light drizzle in the late afternoon and evening.

And Tuesday should see a further warming with highs in the upper 40s before a cold front pushes through the area, Darmofal said, which will drop temperatures to the teens on Tuesday night. There also is a chance for light rain or a rain-snow mix on Tuesday night, he said, but no accumulation is expected.

On Sunday morning, about a tenth of an inch of a wintry mix of sleet, freezing rain and ice pellets fell in the area.

Snowfall, which began Friday and “primarily came to an end” on Saturday, dropped about 4 inches on the area, said Jaclyn Ritzman, also a meteorologist in the weather service’s Wichita office.

A Wichita police supervisor said Sunday that the past 24 hours had been quiet in the city, including no “bad wrecks.”

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported one injury car crash on Saturday morning in Sedgwick County, on I-235 at mile marker 4.4., when a 28-year-old man lost control of his vehicle, crossed the median and was struck by another vehicle.
