Front arrives Thursday - no big change expected, but we should have less wind and more clouds. Temperatures however, will still be in the 50s for much of the state.
Friday storm - We are still at low confidence on how this storm will play out, but by Thursday, we should have a pretty good idea of what's going to take place.
Rain & snow chances - what goes where?
It looks like west of a Dodge City to Hays line, moisture on Friday will be in the form of snow. Heavy snow (greater than 5/6" appears very unlikely), but chances increase nonetheless from mid-late morning. The rain isn't going to be all that heavy in central or eastern Kansas, but drizzle or a few hours of some light showers will develop heading into Friday afternoon. The BIG time rainfall will go well east of here across Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
Severe weather develops southeast of Kansas!
You will likely hear about this in national news updates, but potential strong storms and even some tornadoes are targeting areas in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and southeast Missouri. So this will be quite a potent batch of weather coming through Friday - Saturday.
Snow Saturday morning:
The back edge of the system will be wrapping up early Saturday, so weekend travel plans around the state shouldn't be all that treacherous. We might have some snowpacked areas Saturday morning for awhile, but once the sun comes out, our roads should improve quickly.
Arctic air lining up for next week:
The week won't start out bitterly cold, but it sure pushes in by the middle of the week. Right now, we have the front coming in late Tuesday, so watch for a huge drop in temperatures by Wednesday on. This will be something that sticks around for awhile. Get ready for January to setup camp in the Plains.
We hope to be able to put out a snowfall forecast maybe later today (Wednesday) so watch for that on the air for 5, 6, 9, and 10. Have a great day.
