What's up for the rest of September?

Already halfway through September and after a wet and cool start to the month, we've turned it around. But it hasn't been warm enough to offset the very cool weather from the beginning of the month. So the map is still colored blue for Kansas as our average for the month is still below normal.

What can we expect for the remainder of the month?

Well, fall begins next weekend (Sep. 22) and before we get there, we definitely have some more hot weather ahead for Kansas. Next week should warm close to 90 for the first half of the week. Then a sharp cold front will roll through Thursday evening/night and change things up.

Rainfall:

The rain that we receive on Thursday/Friday could very well be the last of the rain we will get in September. After what was a very soggy beginning to the month, there may not be much rain left for this month. We could transition to a ridge of high pressure for the final week of the month, which would lead to warm and mainly dry weather for most of our area.

Temperatures will warm up a little bit for the last week of the month. September will likely end with Kansas going back under a ridge of high pressure. That will mean dry weather and a return to some warmer weather for the tail end of the month.
