Even Mother Nature is taking a bit of a spa break today, aside from a some cumulus clouds developing there is really no significant weather happening around the KC region today. Highs should max out in the 70-75° and we’ll tack on another 5° tomorrow, with another 5° added to that on Tuesday…eventually we’ll reach the mid-upper 80s by the end of the week with rain chances that continue to look rather low for the next 7 days.

With that said, and as I’ve talked about recently, we are entering the wettest time of the year and for what it’s worth sometimes little disturbances can generate at least the chance of rainfall. My guess is that the atmosphere would be too dry to support much of anything, but for the sake of argument the GFS is spitting out a wave, and has done so for the last couple of days for the end of the week. Here it is…you can clearly see it moving through the middle part of the country on Thursday PM

ATCHISON, Kan. — Five months ago on Wednesday, an Atchison police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty. Sgt. David Enzbrenner left behind a wife and three daughters.

On Wednesday, each of them watched as the community said thank you for his sacrifice. Sgt. Enzbrenner was a 24-year veteran of the Atchison Police Department. He committed his life to the job and his fellow officers. The only thing he loved more was his family, his wife Kerri and their three girls.

Five months to day, the community gathered to remember a fallen husband, father and officer. It hasn’t been easy but Kerri Enzbrenner and her girls are coping.

“Have you heard of that Blake Shelton song ‘I’m Doing Good for the Shape I’m in’?” said Enzbrenner’s widow, Kerri. “That kinda says it all.”

She says the girls are tough thanks mostly to her husband and the four of them take it day by day.
