Active Tropics
The remnants of Hurricane Dennis continue to affect the Eastern part of the country today! Here is a look at the latest surface map:

We have seen the clouds from Dennis... but not much in the way of rainfall (a few isolated thunderstorms is about it!) But check out how close the real rain has actually been:
...MISSOURI RAINFALL...
THOMPSON LANDING: 5.52" THROUGH 7 AM CDT TUESDAY
WILLIAMSVILLE: 3.81" THROUGH 7 AM CDT TUESDAY
FISK: 3.75" THROUGH 1 PM CDT TUESDAY
CAPE GIRARDEAU: 3.51"
FARMINGTON: 2.26" THROUGH 7 PM CDT TUESDAY
St. Louis has picked up 1.26" of rain the past two days... with the chance of more showers today!
Then it tapers off towards Columbia, MO... they have only received .08".
And here in KC, of course... nothing!
So what's next... well Tropical Storm Emily has taken no time to get herself organized. The 5th named storm of the 2005 season... here are the latest Emily stats:
MOTION: West at 20 mph
WINDS: 60 mph with higher gusts
PRESSURE: 1003 MB...29.62 INCHES
Emily will be affecting the Windward Islands today and tonight, and is forecast to move into the Southeast Caribbean on Thursday. Here is the forecasted path:

Emily is forecast to strengthen over the next few days... possibly another hurricane to track!
Closer to home... we will be watching an approaching weather system of our OWN early next week. Here is the latest model data:

There will be a cold front moving in on us... and if you look at the bottom of the image... you can even see Emily forecasted to hit the Yucatan Penninsula!

Hi!
I have a very unusal question. I am doing a report for work concerning electricity kilowat hours, and I would like to know if you could give me some information on where I would be able to find the high and low temperatures for March of 2004-the present. Any information you could give me would be appreciated. Thanks.
KATHY:
That is actually one of the most common questions we get! You will find the information you need on the Climate Data page of the NWS Pleasant Hill website:

Thanks for posting!
