Rainy Morning
Lots of rain this morning in PARTS of the metro! Check out the doppler radar rainfall estimates below:

Wow... that's more than two inches in Pettis County, Missouri... just north of Sedalia! There is a FLASH FLOOD WARNING until noon for Pettis County. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH WATER-COVERED ROADS!
This afternoon will bring drier weather, although an isolated thunderstorm sparked by daytime heating is not out of the question. But most areas will stay dry.
We are still watching a cold front that will approach us on Friday night. Ahead of the front, we could climb as high as 100 degrees Friday afternoon. KCI has NOT hit 100 yet this year, although it has hit 99 twice. We'll make one more run for 100... then the front will bring us the chance of thunderstorms Friday night/Saturday morning.... and cooler temperatures for the weekend.
I just got caught blogging on-air! :) Kind of funny... I was late for my weather hit!
Have a great day!

***************
I noticed that our "official" records of temperatures are those taken at KCI. Why is that? It seems with the amount of concrete, the fact that it is the northernmost part of the metro and other factors, would cause those temps to be unrealistic as the official temp for KCI. Why don't we take temp readings from across the metro and average them out for our official temp.?
Dwight,
This is a great idea, but it won't work all of the time. When a strong cold front comes through it could be 40 degrees at KCI and 65 degrees in Olathe. If we averaged all of the temperatures it could come out to 53 degrees which would mean nothing.
