Good Friday Evening,

The weather is going to be great this weekend, at least, most of it anyway. Above is the GFS for Sunday at 7pm. It has the Cold Front coming in around 7pm, which would me some stronger storms are possible, but the NAM has it come in the Morning hours around 7am. I am staying with Afternoon to early evening scenario. New data will be coming in soon, and I will update the blog Tomorrow on what I think it will do. There is another Cold Front on the way for Tuesday, I am getting confident in the rain chances for that one as well, which already up to a 50% chance of T-storms.

Looking at the new data, there is a 20% Chance of rain Saturday as warm air comes back in. Look at the two pictures (click to enlarge) I posted comparing KCI's Year-to-Date Rainfall with Johnson County Executive Airports Year-to-date rainfall amounts. Amazing! They are not too far from each other! Look how much JOCO Executive Airport (31.81) has compared to KCI (22.33)! JOCO Executive Airport has 9.48 more inches of rain than KCI!! I'll blog later on the chance of rain!! Don't forget to write a comment or two on what you think of this!!
