Weather

Weather forecasts are provided by KU's Dr. Michael Davis and "Monsoon Mike" Regensburger

Strong high pressure brings a day of sunshine and temperatures closer to early September norms rather than early October norms. But we’ll take it because changes are on the horizon this coming weekend. High around 81.
