A little disappointment with the outcome of last nights Game 1 of the World Series (if you are a Royals fan), and unfortunately, we will most likely be disappointed by this storm system that is coming into Kansas too. It's not a very organized system and our moisture supply is limited, so I'm forecasting rainfall amounts up to 0.25" with the reality that most of us will get a lot less than that.

| Thursday, October 23rd |
There is a partial solar eclipse coming up Thursday. We've already had two lunar eclipse events this year that have been fun to watch. But when it comes to solar eclipses, they don't happen very often. A total solar eclipse is even more rare (the next one of those is in August of 2017). You'll need special glasses to view this, or you can try poking a hole in a piece of paper and projecting the image on something. You don't want to be looking directly at the sun. The best time to look is around 5:45, and remember, this is just a partial eclipse, so the entire sun will not be covered. The sun will set about 10 minutes before the entire eclipse is over. Should be pretty cool to watch and hopefully there won't be any clouds in our way.

| Looks like a July or August weather pattern |
Summertime weather is coming back for Friday and the weekend. A large high pressure system will allow our highs to climb into the 80s and approach record values. This exact same weather pattern in July or August would lead to 90s and 100s, but it is October after all. Normal highs for this time of the year are in the mid 60s and we will be 20 degrees above that. We are getting ready to see some bigger changes take place early next week though. It will feel more like fall by Monday and Tuesday. AND, I've looked ahead to the Halloween forecast: Dry with highs in the 70s. Should be nice this year.
