WEATHER: Great Day- Weekend Ahead



A
look at the weather maps this Saturday morning shows a weak cool front that has slowly sagged southward over about the northwestern one-third of the Central States (Nebraska-Iowa-Kansas-Missouri-Oklahoma-Arkansas).



This front will continue south into the Kansas City MetroRegion before washing out.

This will calm winds from yesterday's gustiness- and provide a very pleasant "Indian Summer" day for many locations.

High temperatures in the MetroRegion today will range from the middle 60's north to the mid to upper 70's south- the latter including Metro Kansas City. In fact- the record high temperature of 78 degrees- set in the 1930's- could be tied or broken today.



The national forecast temperature map shows most of the really cold autumn air remains north of the U.S..

The closer look at the Central States shows the cooler air will reside in northern through western Nebraska- 60's and 70's south and eastward with highs in the 80's- possibly reaching the 90's in parts of western Oklahoma.



Sunday looks good locally as well- with highs in the 60's.



Next chance of rain looks to be later Monday into Tuesday. No really cold air in sight for the coming week though....
