It may not cool down as quick as some Kansans would like.

The Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting a "warmer than normal autumn this year." The almanac's 200-year-old mathematical and astrological formula indicates it should be quite warm for the western half of the U.S.

It said much of the central U.S. should be prepared for below-average rainfall, too.
