Douglas County commissioners allowed the countywide mask mandate to expire at midnight but county government buildings will retain mask requirements for now. County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said masks were required in public buildings before the January health order and that policy remains. City of Lawrence had no immediate plan to change its mask guidance as of Wednesday afternoon.

Kyle Poage of the National Weather Service notes records extend back to 1901 in Topeka, while Lawrence lacks complete archival data. March’s variable pattern adds to the unusual warmth.
