More rain incoming tomorrow night

Good morning! Cloudy this morning before we should get some sunshine this afternoon. A cool breeze out of the NW will make it feel a little cooler than the 67 we should get for a high today. Just about anybody you ask will tell you we've had enough or way too much rain at this point. Unfortunately more is on the way. These graphics depict Thursday night/Friday rainfall, where I think we'll see between 1-2 inches in east KS and west MO. Today is dry, Thursday is mostly dry throughout the day (pop-up showers here and there) before the wave of widespread rainfall takes over after midnight and continues into Friday morning. No severe weather expected. Low end (30%) chances for showers continue Saturday and Sunday. -Greg@660weather
