The storm system that rolled across the northern Plains yesterday dropped 2-4 inches in many spots and created blizzard conditions in South Dakota. But for early December, there still isn't much snow cover between here and Canada. Most of it continues to be in the mountainous areas.
The weather pattern we are seeing right now is one that we will likely see quite often during the winter. And it's going to mean several cold snaps will happen throughout the central Plains and upper Midwest. It's very typical of a La Nina winter, and that's what we are in right now.
As long as the upper level winds continue from the north-northwest, our chances of getting any moisture will remain VERY low. This is just not a good setup for Kansas considering how dry we are around here.
Looking into next week, there won't be much change taking place. We continue to see colder air pushing out of Canada. It's likely we will continue with highs in the 40s and 50s through our second full week of December.
