It might look sunny out there this morning. But another cool, blustery day is in store for the Lawrence area, as clouds move in and the wind picks up this afternoon.

“With our clouds thickening up, we do have a chance for a few sprinkles this afternoon,” said Jennifer Schack, 6News meteorologist. “It looks like a chilly afternoon — only in the upper 50s.”
