FNUS73 KTOP 231900 FWSTOP SPOT FORECAST for Event at State Capitol...Shawnee County Sheriff/YWCA National Weather Service Topeka KS 200 PM CDT Thu Oct 23 2025 Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1000 CDT on October 24. IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. .DISCUSSION... Rain showers are expected to become more widespread across eastern KS during the overnight hours into early Friday morning. These will likely impact Topeka during the morning hours with perhaps some breaks in the rain at times during the afternoon as coverage becomes more scattered. Thunderstorm chances look low as there should only be a few isolated storms embedded within the showers, but cannot entirely rule out some lightning being a concern during the event if a storm moves through Topeka. Temperatures are forecast on the cool side due to the rain and persistent cloud cover, keeping highs in the mid 50s. Winds should stay steady from the southeast at 5-15mph. .FRIDAY...
