Weekend cold... chances for snow looming

After a brief warm up Friday, colder air is set to return throughout the weekend and Sunday will be the coldest day over the weekend. Highs are expected to be in the 20s and low 30s.

Snow forecast for the Northeast this weekend
While we focus on the weather around here, you can't help but feel sorry for the residents in Boston, where a blizzard watch is in effect and there is a possibility of another 8-10 inches of snow. Personally, snow doesn't bother me that much, but I don't know how I'd feel with 50-60 inches on the ground and more coming. I'm sure they are counting the hours to spring in the Northeast.

A storm will be brewing late in the weekend and early next week. Confidence is pretty high that this will not be much of a snow maker in Kansas because of the path the storm is likely to take. When the system comes right over the Rockies, the opportunity for it to tap the Gulf of Mexico moisture is limited, so I wouldn't worry to much about significant snowfall Monday or Tuesday next week.

Forecast models (compared to yesterdays blog entry) continue to show limited amounts of snow for Kansas. Where it could be a little heavier is to our south in parts of Oklahoma.

There will be a cold snap coming early in the week too. Temperatures will likely fall back below normal (at least briefly) Tuesday is expected to be the coldest day when highs will only be in the 20s and low 30s. It's still winter and I know there will be some grumbling about this forecast. But if you don't like winter weather, be glad we don't live in Boston AND around here, the bitter cold won't last for too long.
