And Now...The Rain
Temperatures were cold to start on Sunday in the upper 20s. Don't see a problem with getting into the upper 40s to near 50 this afternoon. Now, there is a minor disturbance passing through Kansas and Nebraska this morning. It may bring a flurry or a sprinkle throughout the day...but nothing big. The "big" story moves in tomorrow.
Our next weather system is getting its act together and will come through in 3 different waves. The first will come through Monday morning in the form of spotty rain showers. Temperatures will soar into the lower 50s. By afternoon, strong to severe thunderstorms will bubble up in southern Kansas/Oklahoma and northern Texas. We will also see some thunderstorm development around the metro. We'll have to watch how severe these become - the Storm Prediction Center, as of this morning, as pegged just South of I-70 in a slight risk for severe weather on Monday. I think tornadoes will be likely in Oklahoma and Texas in a line from Oklahoma City to Dallas - the closer you get to the center of the low pressure system. Some of that severe weather might stretch up to Tulsa and Springfield before heading to St. Louis Monday night. This is a common storm track right now...but, no doubt about it, heavy rain is possible Monday night and into Tuesday morning for us. Tuesday morning the heaviest rain will then shift to the South and East of the metro.
Dry weather will prevail Wednesday through Thursday and temperatures will regain their composure to the upper 50s.
The latter part of the work week and into the weekend looks unsettled. A few showers not out of the question late Friday and into Saturday. On Sunday, the main portion of the storm system moves through...could start as rain and end as snow. This storm has been delayed a little more in the latest computer model runs.
Have a great Sunday!
