Wet AND cool weather alert

 Here's hoping you have a great weekend and get a chance to enjoy some cooler weather. 

Just a quick update on what's coming this way through the weekend and early next week. Our forecast thinking hasn't changed much, but wanted to get out ahead of the rain that's on the way. It's not all going to come at one time and I know some of you will get to the end of the weekend and be VERY disappointed in your rain amounts. HOWEVER - we are seeing some encouraging signs of what's coming next Tuesday.

Saturday morning-mid afternoon:

These storms will be scattered, meaning not everyone will get a good amount of rain. The storms will move to the east and eventually turn and develop to the southeast.

Early Monday:

As we've been advertising, another cold front is going to swing through the area and slow down over Kansas. Temperatures will be cooled off even more and another round of rain should target all but far WESTERN Kansas. Heaviest rain looks to be north of I-70 and across the eastern half of the state.

Tuesday: 

This is the BEST chance of widespread, soaking moisture for Kansas. There is a slow moving low that is going to move into the central Plains. This should provide a good soaking and THIS is when we should get the 1-2" rainfall. (Remember, the image shown below is a combination of all the different rain chances and likely won't all come at one time)

And that's not all - but it is highly possible that temperatures may not get out of the 60s for highs due to the rain. Needless to say, September may start off with a bang when it comes to cool weather in Kansas.
