Rain update & a peek into April weather

Rain is moving in for the weekend, but as we started noticing yesterday (and even Wednesday too), the rain is going to be gone by the second half of the weekend. So this is probably a good change for us, considering the flooding nearby and how saturated the ground is.

A sneak peek at how much rain we are thinking:

Western Kansas should get the most with .50-.75"
Amounts will gradually decrease moving farther east, but central Kansas should get .25"-.50"
South central Kansas is looking at about .25"

We do expect a few thunderstorms over the Friday/Saturday time frame, but they won't be severe given the lack of other important ingredients (one of them being warmer temperatures)

Sunday - forecast changed!
In case you haven't heard, we've pushed the rain out of here for Sunday, so we will likely end up with some sun and clouds, but unlikely there will be rain. And we could be close to 70° in some areas across the south.

Peek into early April:

I've been looking at the setup and we may go through another brief cold spell. This won't be record cold, BUT... if you are planning to start your garden or put some plants in the ground beware. Some low temperatures will drop below freezing yet.

Have a great weekend! I will be out of the office for much of the last week of March, so the blog won't get updated until I return.
