Quick update - 04/28/15

The post I did on Sunday (click here) I showed a satellite image of a large upper low that was expected to bring heavy rains to Texas Panhandle, western Oklahoma and north Texas.  Most of Kansas was going to miss out on the bigger rains.

That upper low has made slow progress to the east.  Currently this afternoon it was located across southeast Oklahoma.

The weather system did indeed bring widespread and soaking rains to much of the drought stricken southern plains.  There was even decent rainfall that fell across the southern row of counties in Kansas.

It appears we're going to go through a dry and warming trend the remainder of the week.  There will be increasing chances for precipitation later in the weekend and especially next week.  In fact, next week may get rather stormy at times.  More on that later....
