Good morning bloggers,
We keep working to improve our forecasts here on NBC Action News and I now have access to updated information produced by our in-house computer model twice between midnight and 7:00AM. It is higher resolution data, meaning it focuses on a very small area, in our case metro KC. This morning, the new model roled out this scenario for rainfall tomorrow.
Notice the time, because this could be the most important part of the forecast tomorrow. It is possible that it won't rain until late Thursday afternoon. The in-house data spits out a half to 3/4" of rain but again most of that could fall Thursday night. So don't frustrated by the forecast if you are waiting and waiting for rain tomorrow.
Now onto some fun. I usually try to be sleeping by 8pm, but last night I stayed up late to talk weather with Cub Scout Pack 3253 in Shawnee, Kansas. Take a look at this fun group!
I will be monitoring how well the new in-house computer data verifies. It did really well with the severe weather event last Thursday. If you watched the midday news, I showed a couple waves of thunderstorms moving through last Thursday afternoon and night. Tomorrow, will be test number two. Let's see how it works.
