5/21 - 4pm - We Need Fresh Air!

High pressure that's been sitting on top of us for the past few days is beginning to cause problems with the resulting stagnant air. Both today and tomorrow are Ozone Action Days, even though the air quality at the moment is actually in the "Good" category. If you've noticed an uptick in your allergies, you're not alone. This high pressure is trapping allergens and pollutants like a plastic bag and creating excessive amounts of ozone. Low pressure will come up from Florida next week, so this stagnant air should be flushed out then.

Rain shouldn't be an issue here until Sunday, but even then we'll be dealing with only a small chance for some afternoon storms. More steady rains should be here from Monday (Memorial Day) through Wednesday, with Tuesday and Wednesday having the highest chances. Thursday and beyond of next week should be similar to our current sunny and warm conditions.

Kevin Harned and the rest of Storm Chasing Adventure Tours are out near Oakley, KS right now. There's not much going on out there, but the video stream is active at Storm Chaser TV. It doesn't look like a great severe weather forecast for the next couple of days out there unfortunately.

16 days until storm chasing begins!
