See yesterday’s blog for more information on the rain chance for Sunday…nothing really has changed concerning that potential and I’ll be keeping the chance in the forecast tonight on the news…

Also see Monday’s blog for details on the partial solar eclipse that is heading this way on Sunday evening towards sunset. I do have strong concerns about the potential for cloud cover blocking out the sunshine at that time however.

There really isn’t anything to add to the weather scenario around these parts, Temperatures which yesterday hit 83° are going to be a few degrees off from that pace today, before bouncing up to 83-85° tomorrow and then close to 86-87° on Friday. dewpoints still rather low through tomorrow, before bouncing into the mid-upper 50s or so on Friday.

Have a great next couple of days…a blog update tomorrow may be tough considering it’s School Day but I’ll try to post some pictures maybe.

MISSION, Kan. — Christopher Dixon is embroiled in a financial fight with the managers at The Falls Apartment Complex on Foxridge Drive in Mission, Kansas. It’s not the first time the complex has made headlines. In September, 2010, Dixon says he moved into the apartment complex hoping to start a new life, but he says his dream suddenly turned into a big disaster.

“I reported to them before the fire that there was not only toxic mold inside my apartment, but there were leaks in the ceiling.,” Dixon said.

Twice, Dixon says crews replastered the walls.

“They didn’t offer any place for me to move, ” he adds.

Months later, in July, 2011, a fire broke out inside two apartments at the falls–killing two people. For Dixon, that was the final straw. The General Motors assembly line worker, worried about his own safety, broke his lease two months early and moved out.

TOPEKA, Kan. — You might think in such a heavily republican state, Kansas would have no problem with redistricting. But right now, Kansas is one of the last states in the country still debating the maps.

And it turns out the biggest fight is between Republicans.

The fight has been going on so long now that the Kansas Secretary of State has had to push back election filing dates and the whole thing could derail the state’s August 7 primary elections if it’s not resolved soon.

Lawmakers have to redraw political maps after the census to adjust for population changes. Traditionally, the Kansas Senate and House redraws their own maps and each body approves the others without a squabble. But this year the Kansas House, controlled by conservative Republicans, rejected the Kansas Senate’s map. The State Senate is controlled by moderate Republicans.
