Clouds today - waiting on Odile

View from KSAL tower in Salina at 7:30 this morning

Salina is about the only location with some sunshine this morning, but if you look on the horizon, you can see the low clouds that may overspread the rest of northern Kansas by late morning. It may look like rain at times today, but leave the umbrella behind because it's going to be a dry and comfortable fall-like day.

Forecast track for Odile into Thursday and Friday

Odile came on shore yesterday with winds around 110 mph, but it continues to weaken. The outer cloud bands have already reached Texas and Oklahoma as you can see from the satellite picture. We still think leftover moisture from the tropical system will reach Kansas Friday night into Saturday. The bulls-eye of heavier rainfall is targeting southern Kansas, so let's see if that shifts in the coming days on the computer models. Some places will likely get over an inch of rain Friday night into Saturday. Much of southern Kansas has been missed by recent rains, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if that's where the heaviest fell.

Several of you have asked about football weather for KSU Thursday night. It's going to be warm and a bit breezy, but no need to worry about rain interfering with tailgate activities. This should be a good one to watch. Kickoff temperature should be 84 and by the end of the game, readings will fall back into the upper 70s.

Less than one week to go until fall is officially here. It begins Sep. 22 at 9:29 p.m. Have a great day.
