Small Rain Chances

Good morning,
Wow I haven't had a blog entry in more than week. It has been pretty busy around here with "Kansas City Live" now off the ground and running. That is the new show I host with Meredith Hoenes every weekday at 10:00 a.m. Check it out today on your NBC Action News Station. Gary Lezak is on today. He'll talk about the Windy & Stormy plush toys and his winter weather pattern theory.
On to the topic of today's weather. It is a challenging forecast if you are talking about rain. It will be warm and a lot of clouds will be overhead but will it rain? A Cold front is way north of Kansas City so the chances today are remote, 20-percent maybe.
Tomorrow is looking like a better chance, as of this morning anyway. Below are two computer models, for tomorrow afternoon, that when compared place some rain here as warmer air moves back into K-C.

The second model "the GFS" also has the thunderstorm complex developing and moving southeast into Missouri. The question right now is how far west will the showers form.

So rain is the challenge, forecasting the high temperature seems pretty straight forward. It should stay in the upper 80s through the weekend.

Have a great Wednesday,

Brett
