Today's weather for Harvey County will feature warm temperatures, transitioning to significantly cooler conditions as colder air moves into the region this evening.
We can expect cold temperatures starting this weekend and will persist into the early part of next week, accompanied by sub-zero wind chills during the early morning hours. However, temperatures are projected to return to near-normal levels by Wednesday. Central Kansas may experience a slight possibility of flurries on Monday; however, the majority of the area is expected to remain dry through Thursday.
Remember if you must be outdoors, bundle up in layers and try to limit your outdoor sessions to short intervals.Photos from Harvey County Emergency Management's post
County government facilities will be closed Monday in recognition of the enduring legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

We enjoy getting to host this event each year.
It wouldn't be Trappers without some winter weather to tackle (yet some might think it's tropical compared to 2024's edition). Main roads on the way to the park have been cleared from the recent snow storms and are in good shape. Routes have been cleared throughout the park, as well, but expect to find snow cover in the campgrounds. We'd recommend bringing some ground cover. Temperatures are expected to decrease over the weekend with some chance of snow flurries, but it isn't expected to accumulate. However, wind chills may dip below zero overnight Saturday into Sunday. Please plan and dress accordingly.
There's a lot of great information and updates on the Trappers Rendezvous, Quivira Council Facebook page, and in the annual Trappers Herald. Please keep yourself informed leading up to and during the event to ensure it's a safe and exciting weekend for all the attendees. It's a wonderful tradition to be a part of. Have a great time, and we'll see you out here soon!
FYI: Trappers is a private event, so West Park will be closed to outside visitors Friday, Saturday and into Sunday. East Park and Camp Hawk remain open to visitors looking for some time outdoors.Welcome to all the campers coming out to West Park this weekend for the 48th annual Trappers Rendezvous!
