Feels like it's time to talk about the Chiefs or maybe some college football doesn't it. Just not too pretty at all out there are our pattern is now all sorts of blocked up and the weather that you get hangs around for a few days. The bad news is that this weekend that means lots of clouds, but once Monday creeps in, then our storm/moisture will be far enough away from here to allow sunshine to break through. Since the sensible, day to day weather is changing so slowly, that means the sunshine when it gets here will stick aroound for several days as well.  By the way the average high for this time of the year is close to 75

Take a look at the temperatures right now through the Plains states...

Actually we'll have some wonderful weather starting on Monday with highs in the 60s/70s and lows near 40.  There will be the opportunity to at least threaten (& perhaps break) some record lows. The records are in the upper 30s from MON-THU...take a look

MONDAY:  37

TUESDAY:  39

WEDNESDAY:  39

THURSDAY:  39

A Couple of these records go way back to the 1890s.

Lows should be down to at least 40 most of those AMs, especially MON-WED.....so whether or not we get there we'll see, but we'll certainly be in the neighborhood for a few mornings.

As HP pressures builds in from Southern Canada, it'll leave this cooler airmass in place through WED. After that, the airmass will gradually moderate, however SE winds will essentially have a tough time warming the airmass and I expect the week to be below average.

Another potential storm will move in later THU into next weekend. At this point it looks promising for some decent + rainfall here...especially FRI/SAT. Actually as early as THU we'll need to watch for an area of fading rainfall running into the dry air in place as it moves towards the NE up the I-35 corridor.

Severe weather wise...all of a sudden quiet.  May, which on average is the most active month for tornados is very quiet with only 27 reports thus far. The late week storm also no not look like a prolific producer at this point, perhaps something like what we saw this week as instability in areas most prone to storm formation, may be harder to come by for awhile. Interestingly there have been 0 reports of tornados this MAY in KS and only 2 in OK (5/33 are the yearly totals while MO has had 35 reports.

Have a great weekend...
