Cloudy start to Cinco de Mayo

Your sombrero might get a little damp this morning. But you’re unlikely to get soaked if you’re heading out to celebrate Mexico’s Cinco de Mayo national holiday this afternoon, said Jennifer Schack, 6News meteorologist.

“We have had isolated showers rolling through,” Schack said. However, just cloudy and cool weather is expected for the rest of the day, she said.

Lawrence had 0.03 of an inch of rain overnight, she said. At 7:45 a.m.., Lawrence Municipal Airport’s temperature was 51 degrees, the humidity was 89 percent and winds were calm.

The average low temperature for this date is 53 degrees. The record low was 33 degrees, set in 1944.

The average high temperature for this date is 74 degrees. The record high was 94 degrees, set in 1952.

Today’s high will climb to 60 degrees, Schack said.

“We will stay well below average,” she said.
