SCATTERED CHANCES: A system will move across the state today bringing with it a chance of a few showers and isolated thunderstorms. Some places will get decent amounts of rain (perhaps a quarter to third of an inch) while others may get left empty handed by the storm. Outside the chances of precipitation today, skies …

We have reached late summer and the prairie continues to be bursting with ever-changing beauty. Right now sunflowers of many types are taking center stage alongside with continuing Indian grass and big blue stem that are in bloom. Goldenrods, Asters and others are also beautiful at this time.

Ahead of this cold front will be a favorable environment for severe weather, including a moisture-rich atmosphere with dew points in the 60s and 70s leading to moderate-to-strong instability, weak-to-moderate shear, and frontogenetic forcing.
