Incredible rainfall & some snow

Last week's storm provided some nice moisture for Kansas and I think most of us were generally pleased - but also understood that more is needed to continue the effort toward easing drought.
This big system lifting out of the south is going to provide widespread rain (and some snow) before it clears the central Plains. 

Heaviest will come Monday afternoon - overnight with lighter precipitation Tuesday. 


Snow forecast:
This round of snow will probably be like the last batch we had.
  • Mainly on grassy areas
  • Blowing snow likely
  • Roads wet or slushy
  • Accumulations may last for hours - not days
Any snow that falls during the day is likely going to melt as ground temperatures continue to warm up. Temperatures should be near or above 32°, so I don't expect too many issues out there on Kansas roads. 


 Severe weather ramping up in the southern Plains/Gulf coast:

The next few days will be quite busy with severe storms and potential tornadoes in the South. First, it will be Texas that catches the brunt of hail/wind, and then by Tuesday, the threat increases farther east. 


Tuesday outlook:

Have a great day and enjoy the rain.
