FIRST. THIS IS FIRST ALERT WEATHER A FEW TIDBITS TO SHARE WITH YOU THE LAST TIME WE WERE BELOW 40 DEGREES TO START OUR MORNING OFF, MAY 11TH, AND USUALLY THE FIRST FROST FOR KANSAS CITY A LITTLE LATER THAN WE’RE GOING FOR THIS YEAR. USUALLY IN THE TEAMS FOR THE DATES THEMSELVES ON FRIDAY MORNING 38 DEGREES IS WHAT I’M GOING FOR. THE RECORD LOW OF 34 SET BACK IN 2004 AND WE SHOULD ONLY DROP TO 50 DEGREES. SO AS I SAY IT WAS USUALLY A LITTLE LATER THAN THIS. SO WE’RE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE THIS YEAR AND AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS IT WAS GOING TO BE A BREEZY IF NOT BLUSTERY DAY AS THE WINDS CONTINUE. TO COME IN FROM THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST STOIC MANAGED TO GET UP TO THE 70S ABOUT AVERAGE 74 DEGREES NORTH WIND STILL OF 18 MILES AN HOUR BUT GUSTIER THAN THAT TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING A LITTLE BIT 68 AND TRENTON 72 IN MARYVILLE 74, KANSAS CITY FARTHER SOUTH LOOK AT OTTAWA AT 75 DEGREES 75 ALSO IN SEDALIA AND ALSO THE WARM SPOT DOWN TO A CLINTON, MISSOURI AT 77 WIND SPEEDS AT YOU. SEE HERE STILL PRETTY MUCH IN THE TEENS ONE EXCEPTION BEING CHILLICOTHE. OTHERWISE LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE THE COIN 21 MILES AN HOUR. THAT IS AN OLATHE AND I PUT THIS UP HERE TO SHOW YOU THAT WE HAVE VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE OUTSIDE. NO RAIN EXPECTED VERY HIGH WINDS AND DRY CONDITIONS. NOT THE BEST FOR SAY GRILLING OUT TONIGHT. THOSE DRY CONDITIONS. HOPEFULY NOT GOING TO CAUSE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH REGARD TO FIRES BUT WANT TO GIVE YOU THAT FIRST ALERT 5 P.M. TEMPERATURE 72 BY NINE O’CLOCK. WE ALSO COOL DOWN DRAMATICALLY IN THAT DRIER AIR DOWN TO 59 DEGREES BY 9:00. AND THEN 55 BY 11:00 P.M. BUT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 40S BY TOMORROW MORNING. IT WILL START OFF SONNY THE WINDS NOT AS STRONG OUT OF THE NOTHWEST ONLY ABOUT FIVE TO 10 MILES PER HOUR, BUT AS YOU LOOK HERE MIDDLE 40S WILL START OUR DAY AS WE’RE HEADING INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON FORECAST ALSO HAS THOSE TEMPERATURES COOLER THAN IT WAS TODAY INSTEAD OF THE 70S. I THINK WE’LL ONLY GET TO ABOUT 61 DEGREES AND OBVIOUSLY THAT IS BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER. IT LOO DRY FOR YOUR THURSDAY AND ONCE AGAIN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’LL BE COOL WITH SOME OF US BARELY GETTING INTO THE 60S TARKIO MARYVILLE TRENTON MILAN ON THE MISSOURI SIDE FARTHER SOUTH ACHESON CITY IN LEAVENWORTH AT 62 DEGREES AND DOWN TO OUR BUTLER AND CLINTON 63. THAT’S THE HIGH TEMPERATURE. BUT AS NOTED THE NORTHWEST WINDS NOT AS STRONG ONLY ABOUT 10 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR EXCLUSIVE FIRST ALERT NINE DAY FORECAST HOLDS THOSE TEMPERATURES BELOW AVERAGE FOR SEVERAL DAYS NORMAL HIGH 73 AND NORMAL LOW 51 AS YOU SEE HERE BELOW. IN BOTH REGARDS 38 TO 61 DEGREES, THAT COULD BE OUR FIRST FROST COULD BE IN THE KANSAS CITY METRO TO KEEP THAT IN MIND SATURDAY A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND DOESN’T LAST ALL DAY THOUGH, BUT IT STILL KEEPS IT PRETTY COOL 45 TO 61 DEGREES FOR CHIEFS NEXT WEEK DRIES OUT AND STARTS TO HEAT BACK UP GETTING CLOSER TO AVERAGE 50S IN THE MORNING PRETTY MUCH AN AFTERNOON H
