We have a really good chance of getting more widespread rainfall heading into Friday night and Saturday morning. The feature that is going to set it all of is coming from Colorado, and as this passes across Kansas and Nebraska, we should see a fairly widespread area of storms. If you haven't had any rain yet, there's still hope yet. Most of the heavy stuff will be focused right over Kansas through Saturday morning.

7am Saturday:
Get all the rain you can because what we are seeing down the stretch is a pattern shift that brings about a period of dry weather. (See the map below) If the high pressure "heat dome" builds back toward Kansas around September 8/9 (which looks very possible), this is going to force us back into the 90s for at least a couple of days. It's not that uncommon, but also not overly popular when you get into September and are ready for fall weather.
Temperature outlook:
Something to watch during the first weekend of the state fair:
Models are suggesting another tropical system will develop in the western Gulf of Mexico. We don't know if it will turn into anything, but it does appear that the Gulf coast will need to be on alert yet again in the second weekend of the month. Does the system have a chance of moving toward Kansas? Still to early to say, but any tropical system that comes to our area usually tracks out of the western Gulf.
