A tropical system to watch for the Plains

Hurricane Rosa is now working her way through the Pacific and about to turn northward. Strengthening is expected and Rosa will likely become a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher). Notice the forecast track into the weekend. After turning north, there will be a turn toward the northeast and landfall in Baja, CA. The storm won't hit land until Monday or Tuesday.


And if you follow the path that leftover moisture from Rosa will take, it should reach the Plains during the middle of next week. 

This could lead to our next best chance at some rain and thunder to develop in Kansas. So in our first week of October, tropical moisture should be moving this way.

SNEAK PEEK AT FRIDAY (Sep. 28):
It's going to be quite chilly in the afternoon. A HUGE range in temperatures is expected from north to south. Some areas will have highs near 50, but farther south, there will still be some 70s. There's also a chance for a few showers, but most of those will be very light and happen later Friday evening. And to go along with the chill, northeast winds will make it feel even chillier.
