I would be very upset with 47 degrees during the afternoon in June! And honestly... wall to wall deep blue sky like this is actually pretty rare in June. Even the sunny days usually have some puffy clouds over the mountains.

Your not kidding. I was doing out checking the farm for about 30 minutes and my hands went nimb even with gloves on.

Another nice day in the Empty, Forgotten, In-n-Out-less West.

The east coast will have to choke on smoke this summer

EAX AFD National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 302 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026 .KEY MESSAGES... - Winter storm begins late this evening into early Saturday morning and lasts into Sunday morning. Latest forecast trends continue to push the heaviest snowfall to the south with 2 to 5 inches north of I-70 and 4 to 8 inches to the south. - Dangerous cold persists during the winter storm as well with dangerous wind chills in the teens and single digits below zero through Monday - Below normal temperatures with a generally dry pattern expected for much of next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 302 PM CST Fri Jan 23 2026 High pressure stretched from the Canadian Prairies into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest this afternoon. This Arctic airmass was leading to temperatures in the low teens and single digits above zero across much of northern Missouri and northeastern Kansas with temperatures below zero in Iowa. Winds were slowly diminishing across the region, but were still gusting to 15 to 20 mph in spots leading to wind chills in the teens below zero. Heading into tonight, snow will spread across the region after 9-10PM from southwest to northeast as the first wave of the system arrives. This is in association with the arrival of a shortwave flung off an upper low located off the southwestern California coast. Snow will be slow to start with very dry air near the surface to contend with. The column will eventually saturate and snow will reach the surface late this evening into the early morning hours of Saturday. There may be a lull in the snowfall through the day on Saturday as models were previously advertising this, but the 23.12 suite of models show more continuous light snow through the day. This is helped by favorable jet dynamics aloft as we remain in the right entrance region of a 160-190 knot jet over the Ohio Valley. This will be further enhanced with the development of another jet streak over the lower Mississippi Valley Saturday night into Sunday morning placing us in the left exit region for even more lift. Given the very cold air mass in place, this system will be all snow with no concerns about mixed precipitation. Additionally, a very deep dendritic growth zone will be in place from the surface to almost 500mb resulting in efficient snow growth and snow ratios around 18:1 through the event. This will be a drier snow than normal across the region. Light snowfall will continue for Saturday and Saturday night before ending through the day Sunday. Models have trended a bit southward with the latest runs and our forecast reflects that trend. Snowfall totals of around 2 to 5 inches are expected north of the I-70 corridor with totals of 4 to 8 inches along and to the south with isolated higher amounts across our southern counties. For the KC metro area specifically, totals of 3 to 7 inches are expected with lower amounts to the north and higher amounts to the south. With the lowering of snowfall totals in the north, have downgraded the northern row of counties in the Winter Storm Warning to an Advisory.
