Good morning bloggers,
The main disturbance is now moving by with heavy rain north of I-70. There is a comma head of rain just north of Kansas City, near St. Joseph with more than one inch of rain likely if you are in this spinning area of rain. There is a trailing edge of this disturbance swinging across the Kansas City metro area. The next storm is approaching us on Saturday. We will blog about this storm later today. If you want to look ahead to next week, Brett Anthony has posted his thoughts on his blog. http://community.nbcactionnews.com/blogs/brett_anthonys_blog/default.aspx
Look at the 6 AM surface map:

The low pressure area will be moving into central Missouri by late this morning and we will have a wind shift to the northwest. The surface low northwest of KC at 6 AM is directly under the upper level disturbance which has a spin of rain moving along and north of I-70. As the low moves past us later this morning, the wind will shift to the north with a temperature drop, then sunshine should return this afternoon creating a beautiful end to Friday.
Rainfall totals likely will vary from 0.10" to 1.00" up north where the rain is just pouring down this morning north of Kansas City.
Have a great day.
Gary
