WEATHER
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Mix of clouds and sunshine today with continued unseasonably cool weather for mid May. Highs around 60 degrees with breezy west winds. A weak low pressure trough will pass by, bringing a two or three in ten chance for a brief sprinkle or shower, but I think many areas may remain totally dry throughout the day.
