Some of you have been asking if the tropical system Bud in the Pacific will have a chance to bring some extra rain to Kansas. The storm is weakening as it approaches Baja California and will make landfall Friday. Big, soaking rains will hit east of Cabo San Lucas and it will maintain its tropical storm strength as it approaches Mexico.
Forecast maps give western parts of Mexico over 5 inches of rain. So flooding will be an issue for some areas. But follow the path of moisture right up into Colorado and the Rockies. The moisture gets close to Kansas, but stays just a little too far west to do us much of any good.
Good news for some though. As the moisture continues north, it's going to go right over Durango, Colorado where they have been battling fires since the beginning of the month. So the moisture will help firefighters, as long as lightning doesn't start problems. The map below shows where some of the fires are in Colorado.
When will Kansas have more rain?
Most of us will have to wait until next week (Monday/Tuesday) for a cold front to move back into the area, which will help to develop storms and cool temperatures down. It's still early, but rain chances look a little more promising with this setup given that the front will be stronger than any of the ones we've seen lately. Stay tuned.
