Back to a wet pattern?
Good evening everyone,
Today was exciting and frustrating. Some of us had a lot of rain while many others were left with a few hundreths.
A cold front is moving very slowly into northern and central Kansas. It is weak, but strong enough to trigger thunderstorms. We will likely have at least one, if not two or three more complexes of thunderstorms before the cold front moves through Wednesday. Picking the exact spot for the heaviest rain is difficult, but I am expecting a few areas to get more than 3 inches of rain, and most of us should get close to one inch, hopefully more.
Then looking ahead I am somewhat encouraged for what I am seeing. We have potential for more rain in the next two weeks. Remember, it is not summer! Summer begins in three weeks and we have potential to have some interesting spring set ups with the pattern going through the cycle. Below is the 300 hour forecast. It may be fantasy, but I like what I see on this map. It completely fits with the pattern as the high amplitude western Canadian ridge north of Montana may get crazy. This would FORCE a cold front down here and given the time of the year it could get very wet. It is a long ways off so let's track this developing interesting weather pattern.

*************
Gary,
What do you think the chances are this week and the upcoming weeks for Overland Park to get a good amount of rain because we need it.
Thanks.
Jeff,
This is the wettest time of the year. And, the weather pattern looks wet, but we must get rain Tuesday into Wednesday or the dry weather will become even more noticeable.
