Rain returns as we say goodbye 90s

Thanks for spending a few minutes checking out the blog and reading up on our next chances for rain. If you are ready for fall weather, this is a good start. 

TIMING:

The front should get into western Kansas by Tuesday afternoon, but storms won't start developing until 6 or 7 p.m. 

The rain will continue to move from west to east and should begin to exit south central Kansas by Friday afternoon (at the latest)

Amounts:

There's still plenty of discrepancy in the computer models as to how much rain we might get. One model has a bunch of rain focused over south central Kansas with lighter amounts everywhere else. Given the setup, I am expecting most amounts in western Kansas will come in around .50" or less, but because the front will be slowing down as it travels east, there's a good chance much of central and south central Kansas will get close to an inch. There's some very rich moisture (humidity) in place to lead to some heavier rainfall.

Are we about to say goodbye to the 90s for the rest of the year?

It's very likely. Once this latest cold front blasts on through, we should see mostly 70s and 80s to finish out the month, and just look at the map below. Early October is showing signs of being quite cool for most of the area. This could be a lengthy stretch of 60s and 70s for Kansas. Stay tuned.
