Active weather this week, but how rough will it be?

Hope everyone had a great weekend. An active weather pattern is showing up this week with a series of storm systems approaching from the west. And in all reality, it's something that may continue into next week too, but how significant will the storms be?

First chance for snow tonight:

This isn't anything to be concerned about. A stray flurry or two might clip southern Kansas, but accumulations should stay well south of our immediate area. Models are suggesting several inches of snow may fall in New Mexico and and parts of southern Colorado.

Second chance for moisture Wednesday:

Again, based on the track of the main low pressure system, this will again be another system that is a miss to the south (which has happened a bunch this winter). The system gets wrapped up Wednesday afternoon and areas along and southeast of the Turnpike might have a rain/snow mix for part of the afternoon. Temperatures will likely be above freezing, so I'm not concerned about road conditions being a problem. Heavier rains will soak eastern Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas.

Next strong cold front: this will come through late Wednesday night or early Thursday. It's nothing we haven't seen already this winter, but highs will probably slip back to the 30s for at least one day. Then a rebound will take place heading toward the weekend.


We do have more active weather lined up from the weekend into early next week, but none of these future storms really have the indications of being anything more than light sprinkles or flurries at this time.

And if you are counting, we are less than 40 DAYS to spring!!

Have a great day.
