Weather
Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger
Summer began yesterday late morning meaning today is the first "full" day of summer. Won't feel like it, though, as low pressure drifts north and a stiff easterly wind brings us a chilly mostly cloudy day with highs a good 15+ below normal at only about 67. Rain showers will be around at any time accumulating a general quarter to half inch.
