The #peer reviewed #paper is out! It explains how the #weather pattern sets up every autumn and cycles through the next summer and how it’s the same, yet different! omicsonline.org/open-access/pc…

Goooooooood morning! The threat of strong to severe thunderstorms will increase once again. This very stormy spring pattern continues with summer now just a 11 days away. Let’s take a look and finish with Rainbow 🌈 and 😎 Sunny to get our day started.

@latenightercom Hey that’s the desk that sometimes took drives! Or was it the one before this

"You can't make this up". Gooooooood late afternoon or evening! I just finished writing the Weather 20/20 Intelligence report showcasing how despite an ENSO shift from La Niña to a developing El Niño, the weather pattern is still the same, which shares the fact I have been sharing for over two decades. Summer begins in less than three weeks and the jet stream is shifting north. A weak storm will be approaching this weekend with an increasing probability of showers and thunderstorms in KC. Any significant severe weather risk will hold off until around the 10th to the 13th. Have a great evening! Here is the link: open.substack.com/pub/weather202…

WEATHER UPDATE (6/2/2026): The great June weather lasts a few more days, then back to active. Also, it is comfortable because of the lower dewpoints. I attempt to explain the dewpoint & look at the upcoming changes in our updated @KSHB41 weather blog at: kshb.com/weather/kshb-4…

@AlexKlucher E.

For the rest of your life, you're restricted to a particular region for severe weather chasing ventures. Which one are you choosing?

WEATHER UPDATE (12/8/2025): We are in for a 1 day break from the cold Tuesday. Highs will climb well into the 50s before a series of cold fronts move through Wednesday through Saturday. @KSHB41

@ChristmasPierce Occasionally. It can have different waves embedded

@Weather2020 I don’t remember seeing an LRC that consisted of two patterns of different cycle durations before. Has this happened in the past?

Our #weather team has been working on this next cycling pattern! This is what Gary’s been posting and we will continue to work on!

Does snow transform everything? The winter forecast comes out later today on weather2020.substack.com and we still have our 50% off for the first year for one more day! #LRC #snow

WEATHER UPDATE (12/1/2025): OK, that is a lot of semis barely moving on I-70 east around Independence! Needless to say, it is slick out there. The latest on the current snow and what is next are in our updated @KSHB41 weather blog at: kshb.com/weather/kshb-4…

@steponaduck @KevG163 Field conditions are generally much better now and also many kickers kick in domes

@KevG163 Yeah they were also routinely drunk or high off butt cocaine so those field goals are actually more impressive than the 65 yard snipers we see today

My how times have changed. Kickers nowadays routinely make 50- and 60-yard field goals. On September 17, 1978, NBC's Marv Albert and Bob Trumpy were incredulous that the #Seahawks' Efrén Herrera — a Pro Bowler and one of the best kickers of his era — connected on a 45-yarder.

I gotta give a shoutout to @glezak and weather 20/20 for all the help this week with the weather we have had along with the football games. Such a huge resource helping us do what we do! The Global Predictor app helps us a ton too!

@crdboardbear @glezak It is

@glezak Isnt the farmers almanac very unreliable? Read that they inflate their accuracy numbers…

Gooooooooood morning. If you had to choose just one — would you take 100 degrees or 0 degrees? Tell me why in the comments… I will tell you my choice in the first comment. Now, take a look at this one-page Farmers’ Almanac Winter Outlook. Notice how every single region of the United States has a dramatic headline of something wild happening? That’s how they grab attention — but it’s not science, and history shows these forecasts miss the mark and are accurate perhaps 25% of the time. By contrast, the Lezak Recurring Cycle (LRC) is rooted in atmospheric science. Each fall, a brand-new, unique weather pattern sets up and cycles regularly—providing a foundation to make accurate long-range forecasts. That means by early December, once the new LRC is established, we’ll release the Weather 20/20 Winter Outlook with precise, science-driven details on temperature and storm risks through spring. The difference? The LRC has verified at 90%+ accuracy on severe weather forecasts, and we’ve shown unmatched success in predicting hurricanes and winter storms months in advance. The KSHB Bloggers named it the LRC in 2003. Stay tuned—our outlook will tell the real story of winter ahead. For now, have some fun with this outlook and we will look back in March and see how it did! #LRC #Weather2020 #WinterForecast #ScientificForecasting #Meteorology

Ever heard of the MJO? Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Roland Madden — the ‘M’ in MJO — and we had a fantastic conversation about the MJO and the LRC.

LIFE UPDATE ❤️ 1. I had baby #2 on 4/3! 2. I wrapped up my 9-year career @KSHB41 + 12 years in the industry on 7/11 🥲 Bittersweet! 4. KC is home & now, I can be more present (&rested) for the kiddos! 5. Thank you for your trust & starting each AM with the best news team in KC❤️

The United States is moving into phase 1 of this year's cycling weather pattern, which has been the wetter phase for KC. 25" of the 34" of rain that has fallen since October when the LRC set up has occurred during this phase 1. There is a slow moving summer storm system developing and approaching and it is lining up to potentially have KC near the bullseye of heaviest rain between now and Tuesday. Here is the forecast I just drew up. I will discuss this in our tropical update as well on our Weather2020.substack.com report that I will have posted soon. Have a great Saturday!

A stormy start to the weekend! The ring of fire returns. 5” of rain is possible by Monday night. I’ll have more details soon! Here is the radar at 7 AM. Let me know if you hear thunder and what you are experiencing near KC!

I pulled up the Global Predictor, powered by the LRC, and showed a forecast of 82° on July 31.
