Early Wake Up Call
We had another round of thunderstorms overnight and this moring! HEAVY rain fell in some areas... particularly up in Doniphan county, Kansas. Check it out:

Doppler radar estimates 7 to 8 inches fell there in the past 12 hours or so! There is a FLOOD WARNING until 10:15am... stay away from water on roads, or rising creek/stream waters!
Elsewhere, this morning's showers and thunderstorms continue to move EAST and away from the Metro... but additional showers and thunderstorms have developed to our WEST... near Topeka:

These are drifting in our direction... and while not as INTENSE as the last batch... we may see a passing shower during the afternoon hours.
We are really dealing with muggy air... "air you can wear"! That makes for hair you CAN'T wear... ugh! :) Dewpoints will be high again this afternoon... combine that with a little sunshine... and it will be a sauna out there!
Once our cold front comes through, we will start to feel the relief! Here is the current surface map:

Ahead of the front, we are in the warm, muggy airmass. But back behind it... it is much cooler, and less humid. The front will also spark MORE thunderstorms this evening and overnight into Saturday morning. We could see more heavy rainfall!
TGIF... enjoy your weekend!

I see there is a thunderstorm complex should this complex start to move towards appleton city or is appleton not going to see any rain.
Thanks,
Daniel
Daniel,
The thunderstorm complex should make it to Appleton City late tonight and early Saturday. It is too early to tell if you will get the brunt of it or just a glancing blow.
