The National Weather Service now warns that isolated thunderstorms are possible in the region, and some of the storms could produce dime-sized hail and winds of up to 50 miles an hour.
The storms will be widely scattered, forecasters say – but don’t be surprised if something fires up.
So I glanced at the 7-day outlook for Wichita on the National Weather Service’s web site, and it featured the same forecast for most of the next week: Sunny, with highs in the mid-80s.
It reminded me of an old meteorology joke, where a forecaster went to his psychologist and said, “I’m having the same nightmare over and over: The forecast every day is ‘Sunny, high 85′”
But I’m not about to complain about such nice weather in a region more used to another old joke: “If you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes.”
