Storm chances return & something special late in the week

We had some really nice weather over the weekend. March is notorious for having some wild storms, but this year, we were pretty lucky to dodge any major severe weather episodes AND winter storms.

I know rain would sure make a lot of people happy, and once again this week, there are chances in the forecast. The focus will be on Wednesday evening and into the night as yet another cold front crosses the Plains. This looks like our next chance for some severe storms, with hail and wind being the primary threats. Once storms take off, there should be a southeast drift to them as the front continues it's southward push. We will update this as time draws closer.

April 1st will feel more like June with afternoon highs in record territory by Wednesday.

There is another lunar eclipse coming up Saturday. We had two of them last year that were just spectacular and completely visible here in Kansas. Kansas isn't in the right spot to see the entire eclipse Saturday. The moon will set before the total eclipse ends. Here is a quick timeline:

Partial Eclipse begins: 5:15 a.m.

Total Eclipse begins: 6:57 a.m.

Total Eclipse ends: 7:02 a.m.

Partial Eclipse ends: 8:44 a.m. (moon already below horizon)
