Central Plains-Kansas City-Lawrence Area

[sertorius]

This looks to be a very boring week weather wise here in the central plains if you like Winter-we had close to an inch of rain here today in Lawrence-next week though looks interesting at least for the temps. Have one good cold shot next Monday then moderation then another one next Thursday-Friday that may last 3-5 days-will this verify?? The GFS has had this "trend" for the past 6 days-it is worth watching-good luck to the East next weekend (11-13th) looks like you could have some fun!!! It seems that the ridge that develops behind the massive low in the east regresses back west next Sunday night and allows some colder air to spill into the plains-we shall see-if not, at least the gfs and mrf has given me something to think about besides writing Latin and History finals Anyway, it does seem like next week bears watching for the plains-at least temps. wise. Have a great night!!

Well, it looks like we will see some drastic changes to the weather here in the Central Plains beginning next Monday-there is even a hint at fairly good storm for this area next Thursday!! The NWS service out of Topeka is not real excited about any of it-say Monday may be a bit cooler and nothing as of yet about later next week. Models still picking up on the cold air comming down and looks to be real cold the weekend of the 18th. It def. bears watching!! Have a great day

Sorry to keep bumping this up, but I figured I'd keep all my random musings in one place!! Well, it seems the GFS has really backed off the cold for next week in the Central Plains-have one shot on Monday then warms right back up-it has pushed the real cold air back to 330 hours-again!!-but it then warms right back up for x-mass. The storm progged for Thursday next week is now on the following Monday (20th)-Maybe it will pick it all back up again, but the Euro has backed off as well. The NWS service out of Topeka has our highs in the 40-50's untill next Tuesday then back to a zonal pattern next by the 15th-18th. I realize I'm just model hugging-but it really seems we
have hit a real dead period in this area for the month of December-I hope things that are occuring around the globe (I have read about the Caspian ridge etc.) are correct and the models are just having touble with it-am I just a fool or what???
Have a great night-at least the GFS could keep something for 3 days so I could at least talk about it more!!
