Another voice weighs in on the dangers of lightning

22 September, 20098:15 a.m.

Michael Pearce, the Eagle’s outdoors writer, stopped by my desk on Monday to comment on the intense lightning he witnessed early Monday morning northwest of Wichita.

He also wrote about it on his outdoors blog for the Eagle. It’s a good read.

Cloudy, cool and maybe damp for Wichita

22 September, 20097:08 a.m.

Cloudy skies, cool temperatures and a slight chance of showers are in Wichita’s forecast for today.

Highs are expected to reach the mid- to upper 60s today, forecasters say, with northwest winds in the low teens. Overnight lows should dip into the 40s, and Wednesday looks sunny and warm, with highs in the low 70s.

A chance of showers returns to the area forecast on Thursday.
