Return of the Drought Watch
Well we have had all of this activity in the weather pattern, but it has not really been that beneficial to the Kansas City area. Although, some areas like Warrensburg and Trenton have received some nice rainfall during the last month, KC has been left out (see our rainfall stats below). There are 2 storm systems we are watching the next 7 days (Tuesday & next weekend). However, it appears they will be fast movers and track to our north. The one for next weekend has a slight chance to be a wetter, slow-moving storm, but the latest data does not show much hope for a decent widespread rainfall.
We do feel, however, as this same pattern rolls through the rest of the spring it will at least become average wet. It will be interesting to see what we think by the end of May.
KC 2006 Rainfall...3.39"
Average So Far...5.64"

The current drier than average spell has been accompanied by temperatures well above average. It has been many years since we have actually had below normal temperatures in the month of April. Will the La Nina pattern continue during this summer?

DEVIN,
LA NINA IS VERY WEAK. THIS PATTERN, ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE INLUENCED BY LA NINA IS REALLY JUST A CONTINUATION OF THE PATTERN THAT SET UP LAST FALL BEFORE THERE WAS A LA NINA.
ANYWAY, WE NEED RAIN AND THE CHANCES ARE SLIM.

Next week looks to be sooo pleasant temperature-wise! I know it's a week away but the idea of a warm sunny Easter sounds great!
Marlina,
It is sounding great! I don't see too many things that can go wrong with the forecast.
