Several Rain Chances This Week
A few showers showed up this morning in northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. They quickly moved into Iowa. Cold front is still timed to arrive in Kansas City this afternoon. If we can get enough moisture, then a few showers could pop up after the noon hour. The atmosphere doesn't look that moist...and the atmosphere isn't that unstable to produce severe thunderstorms. Highs ahead of the front will climb into the 60s.
Most of Monday will stay dry. There is, however, a pretty decent storm system getting lined up for Monday night and Tuesday morning. I suspect thunderstorms to break out in southcentral/western Kansas through Oklahoma in the afternoon. If we see any thunderstorms during the afternoon/evening hours, they will be South and West of Ottawa. As these storms cluster together, they will move northeast and arrive Monday night. This complex of storms will linger through the morning rush on Tuesday. Would not be surprised to see some severe thunderstorm warnings Tuesday morning for hail/damaging winds.
Tuesday night through Wednesday looks dry. Then on Thursday, another system arrives to produce thunderstorms...too early to tell if they will be severe. This storm and the one for Monday night/Tuesday morning have shifted slightly. This shift can change our potential for severe weather drastically.
Have a great week with highs in the 50s and 60s...lows in the 30s and 40s!

Off To A Great Start!
A beautiful day is in store for us this Saturday with highs in the middle 60s. A few clouds will approach the area today - but you'll still need those sunglasses!
Overnight tonight and into Sunday morning, showers will pop-up over Kansas and Nebraska. A few could linger into NE Kansas and NW Missouri by 5 AM, but they should be light. Then, the cold front will slide East through the day. By afternoon, isolated showers and a few thunderstorms could develop. This doesn't look like a big event...not much moisture and the atmosphere isn't that unstable.
Monday will stay dry around here. Out in western Kansas, I suspect storms to fire up in the afternoon...then the remnants will move East toward us Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Royals game still pegged as being dry.
Unsettled weather returns Thursday into Friday with rounds of rain.
Have a great Saturday!
