Some rain & winter is back next week

For the first time in a long time, there's a chance we could get measurable rain in Kansas. The problem is that it's a very small area. There's no chance it will turn to snow or ice overnight.

We are headed for much colder weather next week. The pattern is finally going to flip around and show signs of winter. Yesterday here in the blog, we talked about a storm coming through the Plains around Monday/Tuesday. That storm is still in the works, but it may not produce much (if any) precipitation in Kansas. What it will do is drag in the wind and COLD air. Several days next week could have highs in the 30s and 40s. We could be going into a long stretch of below normal highs. Details to come!
