Cooler & quiet now - turning stormy soon?

Good Tuesday morning. The weather is going to be really nice for the next couple of days. We shouldn't have a bunch of wind to deal with and temperatures will feel like late October. What a quick turnaround from the weekend with highs in the 90s. We've had 19 days this month with highs above normal, and when the month ends, there is a chance it will rank in the top 10 warmest Octobers on record. We average the high and low temperatures together to see where the month will rank. Of course, we won't have a final number until Saturday.

High pressure will keep the weather calm for today and Wednesday. No chance for any rain and the skies will generally be sunny both days.

There is another fast moving cold front that will move across the area Thursday morning, so I expect the wind to be gusty from the north, and temperatures will start going down again just in time for Halloween. No scary storms coming through for Trick-or-Treating this year. There could be some lake effect snows across the upper Midwest into Friday. Some of you can recall a time when it snowed in Kansas for Halloween, but not in 2014. The weather definitely looks to be changing quickly.

Weekend storm system will create VERY windy weather... but not much rain
Speaking of changes, our weather pattern is about to get active heading into early November. We have a couple of systems that will be coming our way this weekend. We won't notice much other than the strong south winds. I expect wind gusts over 40 mph both Saturday and Sunday. There's a better chance for some rain coming up Monday, especially for areas of south central and eastern Kansas. We will have to see where the moisture feed sets up, but it looks to target mainly southern Kansas and Oklahoma. Details to come in the days ahead!!
