WEATHER
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Feeling like early November for sure. Not really used to that after our October summer extension. Highs today will struggle to get out of the 40s under mainly cloudy skies as a cool front and upper air disturbance shift east. Watch for a few hit and miss showers, as well.
