Good morning Blue Springs! Not sure where that smell came from last night. One of the kids from my youth, after being outside, walked up to me and told me that it smelled like butt outside. My wife was blaming me. She thought I stepped in dog poop. It was quite the talk last night! The National Weather Service posted this last night on Twitter. It was a pretty crappy post.
NWS thoughts: This cold front has a shallow mixing layer (up to 2kft) trapping everything into this shallow part of the atmosphere. The front moved quickly from IA to KC with strong winds which transported in an “agriculture” smell from farms N of here.
That is definitely cold outside compared to yesterday. We were supposed to have some drizzly rain overnight but that didn’t happen either. Everything was south of us and changed at the last minute. You might say that it was a crappy forecast. LOL!

MODEL DISCUSSION
Current models don’t show a whole lot going on through the weekend. The good news is the weekend’s going to be pretty nice! Monday, however, looks to have possible snow. I know in the past I’ve said it’s been pretty clear, but now you know models change daily! If there is any accumulation, it will be less than a half an inch.
We will have a really cold start on Monday morning with temperatures in the low teens, 14° give give or take.
As for opening season for deer. The rain that was set for Saturday has been pushed to Sunday. Temperatures also look to be about upper 40s to low 50s during the day. Saturday morning early will be in the upper 30s. By 9 a.m. temperatures will be on the average of upper 30s to low 40s throughout the state.
That is pretty much it for today. I hope and pray you have a safe trip to and from work. Blessings.
