More cold fronts - changes happening soon

We are on the home stretch of September and after starting out the month with so much wet and cool weather, we are ending on a drier note around most of the state. In fact, when looking at our monthly totals, nearly 75% of the moisture from this month fell in the first week. Most areas of Kansas are near to slightly above normal on rainfall for September.

But for the year, we are still trailing big time in central and south central Kansas. 

Alright, so what kind of features are we watching now?
Temperatures are dropping today, but could go down even more for our last weekend in September. A strong front will end up in Kansas this weekend, but it's exact location is going to dictate how much of that chilly air slides over us.  

And we may get some light rain with the front too, so we will need to keep an eye on Saturdays forecast. It could be a raw, cloudy, wet start to the weekend.

The beginning of October has potential to be a stormy start, but there are some uncertainties. A Pacific storm system could be coming through the southwest part of the US and making things interesting. And if the computer data is correct, we could be in for some wet weather from Tuesday - Wednesday. How much is definitely unknown this many days out, but let's see how things come together over the next several days. 

And what is that in Colorado? Yep, that is early season snow in the higher elevations. It's not uncommon, but a sure sign of the changing setup at the beginning of next week.


Have a great day.
