Well yesterday more or less turned into a big nothing burger for the majority of the area. Rain amounts were pretty minor for most with most in the Metro only getting <1/10″ or so. Areas SE of KC and south had a bit more. There was weird occurrence of a funnel cloud out in Ray County though during the middle of the afternoon but that doesn’t appear to have touched down. Of course the “nothing burger” for us was the main story.

It’s a grayish start to the day as clouds from a fading mesoscale convective system (complex) are moving through the region. There is some rain with this as well off on the Kansas side trying to move eastwards. It’s struggling though to get past Topeka as of this writing. It’s possible we could get a few showers/sprinkles from this later this morning. The forecast remains somewhat muddled for Tuesday.

The month of June is already half done as we wait for our first 90° day in KC. Now about 2+ weeks behind schedule, you can feel the difference though in terms of the heat and humidity because while we haven’t hit 90° officially at KCI yet… it’s starting to feel like summer with highs well into the 80s and dew points near 70°.

I’ll be taking the rest of the week off but I wanted to give you one more blog again before I write another one next week. The blog title though may be a bit confusing. If you missed my FB post yesterday, it was sort of a celebration post about the success of my weather blog through the years, especially this year. If you’re new to the blog, this has been my passion project for the last 25 years or so. I remember one day in the late 90s I think when I saw something similar from my colleague.
