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.

Convective Outlook for today shows no chance of severe or non severe thunderstorms. Tomorrow shows a chance of non severe thunderstorms. Wednesday shows no chance of severe or non severe thunderstorms.

MODEL DISCUSSION

Models today are all over the place and inconsistent. Two out of the three models that I look at, show no possibility of rain for Tuesday. The third one still shows rain on Tuesday afternoon about 4pm. Friday evening about 10pm give or take is our next major rain event. It will last till about 10am Saturday morning, but won’t have a significant amount. Another larger system will be upon us on Sunday morning early. It will continue into Monday morning October 21st. We’ll have more details as we draw closer to these particular days. Right now it’s just too far to get granular in the details.

That is about it for today. If your employer gives you the day off on Columbus Day like mine, enjoy your day. If not, for those of you that are driving to work, be careful.
