October 14th 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! Happy Columbus Day! The weekend was a great! After spending time with my Savior at worship yesterday morning, I spent the day with my wife and our grandson while our son and daughter-in-law spent the day celebrating their anniversary. We had a blast! We drove out to Kansas, to Deanna Rose children’s farmstead. We saw a bunch of farm animals. We ate kettle corn. We fed goats, chickens. We rode a horse drawn wagon. We had Taco Bell for lunch. Freddy’s for dinner. The night before my wife and I went to Liberty corn maze with our youth group. We had about 67 people total. We had a devotion, ate pizza, I got lost in the corn maze! I was so exhausted from the weekend, I went to bed at 8:30 last night. It was a good exhaustion though. Got my first QC report from the National Weather Service from September’s weather reports, and there was no problems with any of the reports. It is now on its way up to the Climate Center to be archived and a final QC.

October 11th 2019 Forecast

As I sit here, waiting for my coffee to be made, I was thinking about how impressive it was last night to watch the temperature fall a tenth of a degree every 30 seconds. The temperature is still falling, and will continue till about 8 a.m. give or take. I find it funny that we, as people, are ecstatic about the temperatures being cool and cold. Wait until March, when people are tired of the cold and cool and ready for warm temperatures LOL. As for me, I can’t stand fall and winter and my attitude doesn’t change about that. I like seeing the green leaves on the trees. I like not having to wear a coat, and if I’m too hot I can always find a pool. Some say you can only take off so many layers clothing, but I say you can only put on so many. I would like to live in a desert. At least it is nice and warm during the day, and cool evening.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

Current temperature 39.7 degrees. We had a high of 70.6 and a low of 39.7. What a temperature span. Relative humidity 77%. Barometric pressure 1016(30.00 inches) and rising.

Not a whole lot of information on it we just know that it’s going to have some significant rain. I do not see anything out of the ordinary as far as significant temperatures just concerned. Looks like just your average October month up to October 25th.

That is pretty much yet. Pretty boring week when it comes to weather. Be safe driving to work today. It is Friday! Be safe coming home and enjoy your weekend.

October 10th 2019 Forecast

Good morning Blue Springs! Happy Thursday. It is a little wet currently.

I don’t think this system will be long-lived enough to reach into Jackson County, but it is something to watch. It is still about a day or two out. Pretty sure it will change quite a bit as we approach Friday.

That is pretty much it for today. Have a safe have a safe trip to work. You may. You may want a light jacket for tonight for tonight. Be safe driving home.

I will get a more accurate time frame as we draw closer to Wednesday. Another round of rain will approaches early Thursday morning around 1am and continuing into the late morning at this time. Friday morning we’ll start our cold front moving in. By 7am. We will have temperatures in the upper 30s. As we progress through the weekend, Saturday morning at 7am we will be in the low 30s.
