OK, this hot weather really gets to me! I'm ready for the cool down. my ideal temp is 65 degrees and sunny, that means real cool at night.

[bahua]

ZAP!

Your wish is granted.

Who's looking forward to near unbearable humidity the next few days? OOOoooo, Ooooo, Me! Me!

[shinatoo]

Who's looking forward to near unbearable humidity the next few days? OOOoooo, Ooooo, Me! Me!

As opposed to the nearly unbearable humidity of the last few days?

[bahua]

Yeah. High humidity with pleasant temperatures are just fine with me.

Sirens going off downtown...  whats going on in your neck of the woods?  anyone in Indp?

I was on the plaza when they went off, it's funny watching the locals just continue what they are doing like drink coffee at starbucks and dine at classic cup (outside) while the obvious out of towners were rushing to shelter.  There was a Japanese family that was actually running down 47th (they take those sirens seriously  :D).

I just checked www.noaa.gov. Here's the outlook for your area for the rest of the day:

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHED FROM NORTHWEST MISSOURI
THROUGH SOUTHWEST KANSAS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR WIDESPREAD
SHOWER AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT.
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL...ON THE ORDER OF FOUR TO SEVEN INCHES...HAS
FALLEN OVER THE PAST 2 DAYS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSOURI
AND THE KANSAS CITY METRO. AN ADDITIONAL ONE TO TWO INCHES OF
RAINFALL...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...WILL LIKELY LEAD TO  FLASH
FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ALONG URBAN AREAS AND HIGHLY RESPONSIVE
RIVERS AND CREEKS. PERSONS IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS SHOULD BE PREPARED
TO TAKE ACTION IF WATERS RISE RAPIDLY.

anyone else getting freezing rain yet? Its coming down as a nice steady rain here in Pendleton Heights, and iciciles are already forming on the iron fence, the trees and the power lines. Lets hope it doesn't get worse. Had a root canal this morning, so I'm home for the day, thank god!

Kind of hoping for poor enough weather that tomorrow is a snow day though!

[Tosspot]

Same thing here..it looks very winterish now. I predict many automobile accidents this evening.

[kard]

We had some lightening and thunder with the freezing rain in OP about an hour ago.  I've seen thunder-snow before but not thunder-freezing rain.

Icicles on trees, and pellets on the ground.

I should have ridden my other bike to work today.

[KCMax]

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

On the plus side, as a telecommuter, I don't have to deal with this crap.

On the down side, no snow days!

[kcmetro]

We had a lot of sleet earlier in Lawrence, but now it's changed over to snow.

[bahua]

Sigh. One of the four times a year that KC has weather. Just drive carefully, folks.

That said, I'm definitely taking the bus tomorrow.

[dangerboy]

Can't wait to get home and spend the evening with the blue glow of the TV and the soothing dulcimer voice of Katie Horner.

[ShowMeKC]

This weather fucking sucks to drive in... That's all I have to say...
