00:00I'm Jared Broyles with your morning update.
00:03New this morning, the Topeka Fire Department battled a house fire last night on the city's north side.
00:07It happened just before 11 p.m. in the 1400 block of Northwest Jackson Street.
00:12There is no report of injury so far.
00:14This is a developing story, and you can check our website for updates.
00:19A person died after falling off a roof in Topeka Saturday.
00:22Topeka police were called to the 2200 block of Lakewood Drive just after 10.30 a.m.
00:27The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
00:29And the incident has been ruled work-related.
00:32That's a look at some of your 13 News This Morning updates.
00:35Of course, you can always visit our website, WIBW.com, for more news, weather, and sports.
00:39But right now, let's check in with Doug Myers for a look at your full forecast.
00:43All right, temperatures today are going to be on the warm side once again.
00:47A few degrees cooler than yesterday, just because it's a mid-to-high-level clouds that may make its way
00:51into the area throughout the day.
00:52But still, mid to upper 80s for temperatures that will be a little bit cooler tomorrow,
00:57but still in the low to mid-80s, still well above our average high of 76 degrees for this time
01:02of year.
01:02Wind's really not much of a factor.
01:04There may be a few wind gusts, 15 to 20 mph, especially tomorrow.
01:07But for the most part, sustained wind should be at about 5 to 10 mph both today and tomorrow.
01:13And then we're starting to heat back up, heading into Wednesday for the first day of October.
01:18Definitely won't feel like it, with temperatures about 10 degrees above average for this time of year.
01:22In the mid to even upper 80s in a few spots, not only on Wednesday, but Thursday and Friday as
01:27well.
01:27So, as I mentioned, just some passing clouds from time to time to begin the work week for today.
01:32And especially into tomorrow, you'll get that cloud cover increasing tonight and lasting throughout much of the day.
01:38Tomorrow, continuing to stay dry, though, and then we'll get a lot of those clouds out of the area for
01:42Tuesday night.
01:43You'll notice that there might be a few rain showers in the area Wednesday morning, mainly in central Kansas.
01:49But unfortunately, as it makes its way eastward, it will dissipate.
01:52So, not expected to make its way into our area.
01:54So, it continues to stay dry on Wednesday.
01:56Still gently, mostly sunny, though, after a few clouds at times.
02:00And then we'll have pretty much cloud-free conditions Thursday and Friday.
02:03And that's got a lot of temperatures to heat back into the upper 80s.
02:06And then starting to cool down again over the weekend, low to mid-80s.
02:09But here comes some rain chances of returning to the area over the weekend, mainly Saturday night and then again
02:14on Sunday night.
02:15But still some uncertainty in how much rain to expect.
02:18The European model has many spots, especially northwest of Topeka, getting some meaningful rainfall, even as much as a half
02:26inch or more.
02:27However, the GFS shows pretty much everyone less than a tenth of an inch.
02:31So, bottom line is there's a chance of rain, but how much of a chance and how much of an
02:36impact it will have on daytime hours still is subject to change.
02:39So, make sure to keep checking back in throughout the work week with respect to the weekend forecasts and the
02:44rain chances that would return to the area.
02:45But it is still going to remain on the warm side for the weekend as well.
