Good morning, Kansas City! It looks like we’ve got a little dampness lingering around as we prepare for a cold front that’s set to move through later today. So, if you’re heading out, you might want to grab an umbrella just in case, though it’s not expected to be a washout. The front isn’t overly strong, but it will bring a bit of a chill!
As of this morning, things are looking a bit cloudy with some patches of drizzle or mist hanging around. Temperatures are starting in the upper 50s but will gradually dip to the lower 50s as the day goes on. That’s right, folks, it’s going to get cooler! Along with that drop in temperature, we might see the wind picking up a bit. So if you planned to wear that light jacket today, it might just be the perfect choice!
The bright spot in all this? Tomorrow is shaping up to be the best day of the week! Expect loads of sunshine and a lovely atmosphere—perfect for taking a stroll or sipping on some warm cider. Highs will reach the upper 50s to near 60, and it should be a delightful day to get outside.
However, things will start changing later tonight into Friday as we anticipate a return of low-level moisture drifting in from the south and southeast. This could set up a risky situation for rain and potential thunderstorms developing, especially as we head into Friday night and Saturday morning.
So, what can we expect? The forecasts show that this weekend’s storm could bring around 0.01 inches of rain in various estimates, but there’s still some uncertainty about timing. Some models suggest rain might hit as early as Friday morning, while others are holding off on that. It’s a mixed bag for sure!
As this storm makes its way east, it’s important to note that the winds and temperatures will shift a bit. The various weather models are painting different pictures: while one suggests a quicker rain call, another is painting a much slower response. We’ll be keeping an eye on this as conditions become clearer. For now, think of Friday as a day to have your rain gear ready, just in case.
In addition to the rain, there’s even a chance of accumulating snow in regions of western Kansas and possibly parts of southeastern Colorado and northeast New Mexico. But, as they say, this won’t last long. Most of the rain should move quickly through, which means that lengthy downpours are fairly unlikely.
And just as a side note about our wider weather picture, there’s a new tropical storm named Rafael brewing in the Caribbean. Forecasts suggest it may make landfall in western Cuba, potentially as a hurricane before it heads into the Gulf of Mexico. There’s a bit of unease about how strong it might get, especially as the waters in the Gulf are cooling and winds may pick up into the weekend.
So gear up for today—grab your coat and maybe a drink to keep warm. Don’t forget your umbrella for the possibility of later rain. And keep an eye on the evolving weather patterns as we head into the weekend. Whether you prefer snuggling up inside or enjoying the brisk air, there’s something for everyone with this weather!
Stay tuned for further updates, and make the best of this lovely fall season here in Kansas City!
