To rain or not to rain, this is the question?
60 degree dewpoints have made it into the region. This means that rather rich Gulf of Mexico moisture has arrived. You can feel the humidity. So, now all we need is a trigger. There seems to be a few triggers heading our way, but nothing so overwhelming that I am convinced it will rain. A front drags through the area on Monday and this should be enough to bring us some rain. Then later in the week there is a chance. Look at the GFS from this morning. This is the forecast total rainfall for the 60 hours ending one week from now, next Friday. Amazing how it stops on our doorstep. More later.

The red, above represents over 3 inches of rain. This is exactly what we need to replenish our ground moisture.

I saw your forecast at 6 this evening. The projection for rain had the storms almost circling KC. Why do the weather systems bring rain to our west, north, south, then fall apart and reform just east of KC? This kind of pattern seems to occur frequently.
Thanks, Ann

It's very difficult to explain this phenomenon... we are just in a very frustrating weather pattern! It does seem like the rain is always all around Kansas City, but not HERE. Let's hope we get some rain out of the set up we have for Thursday into Friday.
