Weather
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Surface high pressure builds in from the west. This will clear out some of the clouds generated by a weak frontal passage today. Gradually clearing skies are expected. High temperature near 80.
Dr. Michael Davis and Monsoon Mike Regensburger’s podcast "Weather and Climate Chat" has dropped a new episode, discussing the backwards September (cool to start, warm and humid to end), two tropical systems in the Atlantic (will they affect us?) and fall foliage predictions.
