This is our first, full day of autumn in Kansas and the weather we see today is about what you'd expect in September. Highs around 80 is considered normal or average. The morning rain in Kansas has lead to some awesome sunrise pictures coming in on Twitter. Thanks for sharing them. I enjoy using them on the air and right here on the blog.

| Pattern through midweek |
Any rain in Kansas this morning will end with the afternoon looking dry. There is a storm system that is directly above us today and tomorrow that could stir up some more rain later tonight and early Wednesday. It's not severe weather, but some much needed moisture should develop heading into Tuesday evening. I'm expecting rainfall amounts between .25 and .50" for most of the area, but some could get a little more and others may get missed altogether.

| California's widespread drought situation |
Another big storm system is going to be slamming into the west coast late in the week. The wildfires in the west have been destructive and a huge challenge for firefighters, but they should get some help Friday and into the weekend. Look at how much of California is in "exceptional" drought (roughly 85-90% of the state) We need some rain around here, but they need it even more across the western US.
Millie and I visited Meadowlark Elementary School on Monday to see the 5th graders. They were a lively bunch and had some great questions. While I talked about tornadoes and cold fronts, Millie walks around the room picking up crumbs and in some cases, crayons. She's a real joy to take to the classroom.
Have a good day!
