Weather
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Easterly flow looks to keep the clouds locked in today. Any sun would be a bonus and not as likely as another overcast day. There will be a few showers and drizzle around, but precipitation amounts should be limited to under a tenth of an inch. The good news is that high temperatures will be above normal for this time of year at about 70 degrees.
Monsoon Mike Regensburger and Dr. Michael Davis recorded a new “Weather and Climate Chat” podcast, their occasional audio discussion at past, present and future weather, along with some discussion on climate. You can hear the latest episode by clicking here.
