Friday morning Update

Things havnt changed much since yesterday's blog, so expect highs today in the upper 60's to low 70's around the area with partly cloudy skies. Tomorrow should start off in the low 50's, and will rebound with highs in the 60's to possibly (if the sun comes out Saturday afternoon) on either end of 70 degrees.

Rain still looks good with a 100% chance between 6:00 AM and 12:00 PM Saturday, depending on your location. The band of showers and thunderstorms should be near Kansas City by 6:00 AM and pressing northeastward. The rain could be heavy at times, but should only last 1-3 hours as the band pushes to the northeast.

Skies may very well clear in western Missouri and eastern Kansas Saturday afternoon. If this happens, I think low 70's will be possible. Areas to the northeast and east of there will remain cloudy with showers, and thus remain in the 60's.

Another thing to note if the skies do clear to the west, there is a chance that - with enough moisture, there could be some thunderstorm redevelopment in the afternoon. I dont expect anything severe with this whole event in our area, the severe weather will remain to the south.

I am expecting a big warmup next week with quiet weather.

Take a look at yesterday's more in depth blog for more.
