It's our second full week of December and a time of the year where we should be talking about snow. Average snowfall for December around Kansas ranges anywhere from 4-6 inches. But the weather pattern this week is not going to deliver that kind of moisture. The temperatures are just way too warm and it's not just in Kansas. Much of the central and northern Plains are expected to be 15-20 degrees warmer than normal later this week.

The pattern looks to get active again late in the week too. A huge storm system will be coming off the Pacific Thursday/Friday and then moving east. For several days now, we've been keying in on a rain chance for the weekend around here. Because of the unseasonably warm weather that is spread out over the area, it's unlikely that the weekend rains will get changed to snow. But on the backside of the system into early next week (Monday, Dec. 15) there may be a few hours where some of the rain could mix with or change to some snow. It's a little early to say how much rain could fall next weekend, but it is a storm that we will be following throughout the week. Look for updates right here on the blog and of course on the air.
