What We’re Tracking
- Winds calm down tomorrow
- Increasing clouds for eclipse day
- Warm next weekend
We're off to a cooler start this morning with lower 40s across the area and mostly clear skies. Our winds relaxed through the night and we should hold on to light breezes over the next few days.
We've been watching the forecast for weeks now for the total solar eclipse that takes place later this afternoon. In Topeka, we see 89% totality that peaks at 1:53 in the afternoon. We start off with a mostly clear sky before cloud cover moves in from the south by the afternoon and into the evening. Around eclipse time we see a partly cloudy sky so some folks may have their view hindered, especially in our southern counties. Please make sure you have appropriate eyewear for viewing the eclipse as we are not in 100% totality!
We settle into a quiet pattern this week. Temperatures stay mild in the upper 60s and lower 70s. The only rain chance we see on the 7 day is a very slim chance on Wednesday afternoon. Early trends for next weekend look extremely warm with temperatures in the middle 80s.
