Brief update 10/07/16

The minimum temperatures this morning (10/7) got close to freezing or below.  There were some mid 20s at several locations.  But, I'm wondering how much damage was done to sensitive plants as the mercury was below 32 for a relatively short period of time.

Here is a map from the Kansas State mesonet low temperature observations....



As discussed in the post that I did two days ago (read it here), I mentioned possible rainfall for Sunday and Monday and that is still on track.  The question at this point is how widespread and how much will fall.  In general, it doesn't look like much but it could be very beneficial where it does manage to rain.


Beyond the early week system, nothing significant is showing up for at least another week.  But, October can be a very changeable month.

If you're at the 3i show in Dodge City next week (10/13-15), make sure and stop by the National Weather Service booth (I-294).
