Good morning bloggers,
A freeze warning is in effect for northern Missouri, and a frost advisory is in effect for Kansas City!
The average first freeze in KC is Oct. 28, so if we have a freeze tonight, it would be almost three weeks early. The record is 25° in the year 2000, so we won't be breaking any records tonight.
Frost & freeze advisories
High pressure is settling in overhead. The air sinks in the middle of these surface high-pressure areas, and the wind blows away from the center. The wind is usually very light or calm near the center, and with our region near the center, it will be a gorgeous day for football Saturday in Lawrence.
The undefeated Kansas Jayhawks will host TCU with ESPN's College GameDay in town. Jayhawk fans are likely pinching themselves to make sure this is real.
It is, and if KU beats TCU Saturday, they will be 6-0. What? YEP! Good luck, Jayhawks.
Forecast for Saturday in Lawrence:
A frosty start to the day with a low near freezing (32°). It will be spectacular football weather. There will be calm winds with possibly a 5 mph breeze. High: 64°
Our weather continues to be dry, and the drought is worsening. We will look ahead to this developing fall pattern in the next few days. For today, there will be a few bands of clouds, breezy and cool with temperatures between 55-60 degrees this afternoon.
Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day reading the weather blog and sharing this weather experience. Have a great day!
Gary
