Good morning,
I saw some of the bloggers mention CoCoRaHs the other day. CoCoRaHs stands for Community, Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. It is a non-profit, network of volunteers who measure & map precipitation. If you are interested go to www.cocorahs.org for more information.
I was checking out the 500mb flow earlier this morning. (500 millibars, roughly 18-thousand feet above the surface) and next week looks cool & wet. Looking at the 500 mb flow will tell us where potential storms will form. Look at next week's 500mb map.
There is an obvious storm over the inner-mountain west, apparently centered over the 4-corners region of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. The storm draws lots of Pacific moisture northward into the KC metro area, so next Wednesday & Thursday, more rain. It appears we will be very cool, maybe too cool for any real severe weather. As for this weekend, more rain tomorrow night and a cloudy, cool Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.
Have a great weekend,
Brett
