BIG BLUE. AND BY THE WAY, THAT FORECAST SHOWS UP IN THE NINE DAY FORECAST FOR THE ROYALS HOME OPENER. SO YOU’LL SEE THAT IN JUST A MOMENT AS WE LOOK OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE NORTH WHERE THERE’S JUST SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS IN SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA. THERE’S A COLD FRONT HERE THAT’S COMING DOWN OUR WAY, AND THAT WILL BRING THOSE SHOWERS THROUGH. JUST A BRIEF SHOWER. THAT’S ALL YOU’LL GET FROM THIS RAIN TODAY. THAT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A GUSTY NORTH WIND 20 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR. AND THAT IS GOING TO KIND OF PUT A STOP TO OUR WARMING FOR THE DAY. SO WE ONLY MAKE IT TO 59 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON IN KC 52. IN SAINT JOE, 65, IN WARRENSBURG AND 57 IN LAWRENCE. NOW TOMORROW MORNING THERE WILL BE A HARD FREEZE, SO DON’T DO YOUR OUTSIDE PLANTING YET. YOU’LL SEE MORE HARD FREEZES IN THE NINE DAY FORECAST AS WELL. 26 IN CAMERON, 29, IN OLATHE TOMORROW MORNING, 29 IN WARRENSBURG TOMORROW AFTERNOON, A CHILLY DAY. THE WINDS, THOUGH, WILL START TO TURN IN THE AFTERNOON BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST, SO THAT BRINGS IN WARMER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND. ALSO BRINGS IN NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. THIS IS SATURDAY NIGHT LIGHT RAIN COMES THROUGH AND THEN ON SUNDAY, STEADY RAIN ON OUR KANSAS SIDE. IT TAKES A WHILE TO CROSS THE STATE LINE, BUT IT WILL. SO RAIN SHOWERS AND VERY WINDY. GUSTS 45 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN LATE SUNDAY NIGHT VERY EARLY MONDAY MORNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. THERE WILL BE SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO COME THROUGH. WE’RE NOT ANTICIPATE SEEING SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, NOT LARGE HAIL OR DAMAGING WIND, BUT THEY’LL BE NOISY. THUNDERSTORM AS THEY COME THROUGH, GETTING STRONGER WHEN THEY GET TO THE EAST SIDE OF MISSOURI, THAT SNOW WILL BE CLOSE, BUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO GET THE SNOW FROM THAT TWO OTHER IMPACT DAYS AS WE GO FROM RAIN TO THUNDERSTORMS AND VERY STRONG WINDS. AND THEN ON TUESDAY, THERE’S THAT NEXT HARD FREEZE WHEN OUR LOW IS ONLY 2546 IN THE AFTERNOON. BOONE ANOTHER HARD FREEZE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND 53 IN THE AFTERNOON. THE ROYALS HOME OPENER FORECAST HIGH OF 68 DEGREES. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. THE NEXT DAY IS GOOD FRIDAY AND WE HAVE A CHAN
