You've heard the old saying, "If you don't like the weather, stick around 15 minutes it will change". Today's forecast is the perfect example. Early Friday we started out with patchy fog. We also had our coolest temperatures since Mid-May. For instance; here is a sample of the morning lows.
KCI ---48
Lawrence---48
Lee's Summit---48
Olathe---48
St. Joseph---48
The fog is gone and this morning it was sunny, but high clouds are streaming toward KC. As the day goes on we'll have increasing clouds and maybe even a shower or sprinkle. Today's small rain chance comes courtesy of a weakening upper level low heading our way.
Look at the GFS model from last night. Obviously, the bulk of the rain falls over Iowa and there is a better chance of rain if you live north of K.C., so here in the metro it may just be a cloudy afternoon with a few sprinkles.
Otherwise, there is a lot of attention on the Atlantic Coast where Tropical Storm Hanna will make landfall this weekend. "Hanna" then moves up the coast, spreading heavy rain and wind along the way. In the path of the storm, Foxboro Massachusetts where the Chiefs play the Patriots on Sunday. From the map below you can see a lot of rain falls in Foxboro through Sunday morning but it appears the storm moves away before kick-off unless it slows down between now and then.
I'm hoping the storm slows down, heavy rainfall and wind could help the Chiefs in this game. As for the rest of the weekend here, it appears it will stay fall-like with highs in the 70s.
