Weather
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Fair skies with a high of 80 degrees. Light southwest winds. Sorry. Just joking. Well, at least I didn't lie about the sky. It'll be fair skies, all right. But high temperatures at about 18 with wind chills around -10. Hey, I tried to give you something to dream about for a split second. It'll be here in about four months. Hopefully sooner.
