March weather forecast
Kansas, USA

March signals the advent of spring in Kansas, bringing with it a transitional phase where the cold of winter begins to wane, and warmer temperatures start to emerge. During this month, average temperatures typically range from 30°F to 45°F. These readings show a marked improvement from February’s colder metrics and pave the way for the warmer conditions anticipated in April.

Despite the upward temperature trend, snowfall remains a feature, especially in western Kansas. Here, snow accumulations generally fall between 6" to 16". In contrast, the eastern parts of the state witness a decline in snow quantities, with figures hovering between 4" to 9". This ongoing east-west discrepancy can be linked to Kansas' topographical nuances and the overarching shadow of the Rocky Mountains.

Chinook winds, which occasionally brought warmth in the winter months, start becoming less frequent in March. However, when they do occur, especially in western Kansas, temperatures can experience short-lived spikes, occasionally reaching the 80°F mark.

The northwest regions, although warming, can still encounter frosty mornings, especially in the early part of March. This contrasts with the more temperate conditions found in southern locales. Winds remain a defining characteristic of the Kansan landscape in March, flowing unabated over the flat plains and occasionally ushering in bouts of springtime thunderstorms. These storms not only signify the state's shift from winter to spring but also foreshadow the more active weather patterns of the months to come.
