Weather
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
A nearby frontal boundary brings us a day with more clouds than sunshine and the possibility of showers and thunderstorms in areas. Not a washout, but you might be dodging some precipitation at any time. Cool for late August. High around 76.
