As you can see the cold front is moving through, as of now there are a few T-Storms popping up. I think we might have a little shower or T-Storm, then temps start falling through out the afternoon.

Slow Moving front, and any T-storms?
Good Evening,
Look at the surface map and you can the cold front slowly moving our way:
This is not much of a cold front, as it will not drop our temperatures significantly.
Here is a look at Storm Tracker at around 9:30pm:
The only cell is a big one entering into Kansas, with Quarter size hail,and 60mph winds. I'll be tracking this, and watching the radar for any more development.
Updates will be as/if necessary.

Showers and T-Storms Continue
Good Afternoon,
Take a look at Storm Tracker Doppler, and you see we moderate to heavy T-Showers around KC right now, we also have new development, which is heading our way. I'll have more later. This rain is expected to continue through the overnight hours. There's a Slight chance that one or two of the T-Storms could become Severe because of 1" Hail.

2 Day's in a Row! How much rain?
Update: 11:30pm
The new GFS has came out, and it says 1.00"-1.25" of Rain Thursday through Friday. I'm going with 1.25" of Rain. Below is a radar image from our new Storm Tracker Doppler Radar at 11:30pm. Rain is already developing in Central Kansas. With Storm Tracker, and First Alert Doppler, we will be able to give you the latest Severe Weather info!! Speaking of Severe Weather, there is only a slight chance tomorrow. The Storm Prediction Center hasn't even put us under a Slight Risk for right now. click to enlarge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We did it again! It hit our forecasted high of 75F degrees today!! Now the question is how much rain do we get Thursday and part of Friday? Below is the latest NAM data,it shows between .50"-1". I'll have my forecast after the GFS comes out.
We also have a stalled front, as you can see below. This front will play a role in determining how much rain we will get, and how warm we will get. Will it be in the 50s, or get into the low to mid 60s? I'm updating the 5 day right now and will have on the web soon!

Update later, after the 00z GFS comes out!

Another Stormy Thursday...
Update: 11:55pm:
The new GFS has around 1" to 1.75". Right now I will wait until tomorrow before forecasting rainfall amounts.
Good Evening bloggers,
Take a look at the Almanac for today:
As you can see, we got it right on the nose!! Can we do it again tomorrow? Tomorrow could be anywhere between 70-80 degrees! The 80 degrees depends on when the clouds move in. Right now it appears the clouds will come in around 3pm. Then our attention turns to the storm on Thursday. A Cold front will be coming through, and behind this front, we will see some Thunder Storms. How much rain will fall? Some of the computer models say around 0.10 -.19". I update the rest of this after the 00z GFS comes out.

Freezing Tonight!
Good Sunday Evening bloggers,
We are setting up for a Moderate Freeze tonight with temps around 25F. Here is some plant care info from www.hamonslandscaping.com:
"Landscapes in Kansas City will soon be hitting the deep freeze. Well, maybe not the deep freeze. However even with temperatures reaching down into upper 20�s � it is important to have all the information necessary.
First of all this is not at all like the freeze of 2007 � although the dates are not that different. The difference lies in the weather of March. In 2007, Kansas City�s weather was unseasonably warm. Plants were a good 3 - 4 weeks ahead of normal development. Last year I already had Iris blooms poking up in my yard. This year, I barely have leaves coming through last falls leaves. Freezing temperatures this weekend will only be a slight problem for landscapers and homeowners in Kansas City.
Different plants will need different amounts of care this weekend.
Perennials
Most perennials will be fine as long as the temperature stays above 20 degrees. However, if you are the type of person who like to err on the side of caution then covering the plants with a bed sheet. If you use plastic then you must make sure to support the plastic off the leaves or blooms and leaves will still be damaged.
Trees
There is no practical way to protect a tree from the effects of the freezing air. All those pretty magnolias that bloomed this week will be turned to mush if the temperature gets below freezing. However, no permanent damage will be done. This is a common problem with most magnolia trees in our area. Sweetbay Magnolias are on tree that rarely has problems because of it late blooming.
Shrubs
If you have any shrubs that are blooming or who have tender new growth then they should be covered with a sheet to protect the new tender foliage. If you do nothing then you will likely see some dieback of the new foliage - but no lasting damage. If you have shrubs that almost ready to bloom, you may lose this year�s blooms if they are not protected.
Vegetables
If you got an early start on some of your vegetable you will need to protect them unless they are spinach or lettuce. Construct a sturdy frame over the rows and then lay a sheet over each row. Secure the sheet to the ground to prevent wind from moving or disturbing the sheet.
With a little extra care you will can make sure that this upcoming freeze will not delay the beauty of the your landscape."
More Tomorrow,
Andrew

Thursday 11:37am Update
Good Afternoon,
Look at the latest Surface, and Visible Satellite Picture:
click to enlarge
click to enlarge
A powerful storm system is developing, right now we have only a Slight Risk for Severe Weather. I still think we could get up to 70 degrees as the Sun is trying to come out. In fact as I write this the sun is peeking in, and out here in Olathe. we could see re-development as we go into the afternoon. Large Hail will be the biggest threat;if any T-Storms develop. The Warm Front is almost here, as you can see on the maps above. I'll have more updates to come!
