Warming Again
Brett pretty much summed it up below... the ridge building in will mean lower to middle 90s will be back in full force! The good news... it does not look like the air's MOISTURE content will go crazy high like it did last week. So the heat index will be bearable, at least!
Here is the GFS forecasted position of the jet stream as we head into the weekend:

The jet stream flow is NORTH of Kansas City, and where you see the blue areas... those are areas of higher wind speeds. So you can see, the main storm track will STAY north of Kansas City. Now, it's not out of the question that a few isolated showers could drift into our area over the weekend, but MOST areas will stay DRY.
Going towads the END of next week... Thursday/Friday... we see an approaching cold front (finally!) Here is the GFS surface forecast for Friday morning:

It is a long way off... and the timing could change... but it's sure nice to see in the forecast!
I am off tomorrow... Jeff Penner is in!
See you Sunday!

********************
I am wondering what our average temperatures for this time of year are?
Thanks!
Sara
SARA:
Our average highs are in the upper 80s to right around 90 degrees. Lows in the upper 60s. Here are the EXACT averages for...
KCI: 89/68
St. Joseph: 90/67
We have already reached our PEAK in average high temperatures. That was 90 degrees at KCI, back on July 25th. By the second week of August, we are down to 88 degrees... and by the end of the month 84 is our average high.
Hope that helps!
