Ready for A Change!

Just wrapping up a Sunday night in the weather office and I just realized my latest posting is a week old. Days and weeks just fly by and hearing the sports department talk about high school football has me scratching my head wondering where the time has gone. It's been such a hot month that it's hard to imagine suiting up in full pads with afternoon highs above 95.

We will cool off this week (after Monday). Temperatures will be back into the 70s and low 80s with some rainfall around the area. Most of it will fall in western Kansas, and should provide good moisture as farmers get ready to plant wheat in about 2-3 weeks. You can see one of our computer models has a bunch of rainfall in western Kansas at 1 p.m. Tuesday, and we'll have to watch closely and see if that shifts at all in the next 12-24 hours.

The tropics have been very quiet this year, despite the forecast of having an above average number of tropical storms and hurricanes. September is generally the busiest month for tropical activity, and it will be interesting to see if things ramp up in the coming days.

Have a great week.
