Gary's Pic
We're still getting great viewer pictures in! Including one from our very own Gary Lezak:
He is off this week... but was still watching the skys on Tuesday night when we had our storms. He will be back on Monday!
These next few are from Joel Speck of Olathe:
Thanks, Joel... and everyone else... for sending us your pictures! Now I need to mention the fake Hurricane Katrina pictures that have been circulating through emails! You might have seen them:
These are actually severe thunderstorm pictures... notice there is no water around? They were taken in the Midwest, Iowa to be exact! I have seen them over and over again in different emails. The titles I have seen: "Hurricane Katrina Coming In," "Severe Texas Storms," "Severe Oklahoma Storms," "Storms in Canada".... etc. Soooo don't be fooled!! :)
On to the forecast! Today turned out exactly as expected... a gray, wet, and COOL day! Our high was 66 degrees... we forecasted 67... so were were only off by one. BUT that high came shortly after midnight, and we spent most of the afternoon in the LOWER 60s.
Things look better for Friday, though! After some morning fog, we'll rebound in the afternoon with sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Highs should be in the upper 70s!
Then the weekend looks MOSTLY nice... but there IS a slight chance of a spotty shower or thunderstorm on Saturday, and a better chance of rain on Sunday. We will get a better handle on it as new data comes in tomorrow!
Have a great night!

Hey Jamie,
Just to give you a few more specifics on the pics that are circulating as fake Katrina photos. They were taken by Mike Hollingshead from NE. His web site is www.extremeinstability.com. He has some absolutely amazing photos of storms on his site. Without a doubt he is one of the most respected photographers in the storm chasing community and it is all to common to see his work end up in all sorts of fake emails and such. Just thought I would give you the source of the photos incase you did not already know.

MIKE:
Thanks for posting the great info! Mike Hollingshead really is an awesome photographer... and he obviously has a passion for weather, too!
