Another gray, but relatively warm day is in store for Lawrence. The temperature will reach into the low 50s today under mostly cloudy skies, says Jennifer Schack, 6News meteorologist.

“For the most part, the cloud cover is going to rule today. … We’ll have clouds increasing, even thickening, by this evening,” Schack said. “I don’t think we’ll see much in the way of sunshine.”
