We've made it to Wednesday and over the next few days, we will be hard pressed to find any sunshine. I know it can be a little hard to go through several continuous days of no sun, but that may be the case for much of central and eastern Kansas. Warmer air from the south is trying to move back into Kansas, and as it does so, it's running into some cool air and helping to generate the overcast. So drizzle, fog, and low clouds will likely be a part of the weather story all the way into Saturday and beyond.

Another big storm is going to move into California by the end of the week. Already, blizzard and winter storm warnings have been posted for significant snow above 6000 feet. Some areas are going to double their annual rainfall from last year with the help of this approaching storm. So while the national news covers the impact on the west coast, we will be busy watching it's move toward Kansas into the weekend.
Right now, we look for
cloudy skies, windy weather, and perhaps some drizzle on Saturday. The storm won't arrive until Sunday and based on the track of the system,
almost all of Kansas will get rain late Sunday morning and into the afternoon. I don't think it will be heavy, but some .25-.50" amounts seem reasonable given the movement and placement of the system.
Northwest Kansas could get some snow Sunday night, but the heavier accumulations will likely stay in Colorado and western Nebraska. If the storm ends up tracking farther south, snow accumulations could end up in Kansas, but with several days to go, exact details are a little uncertain.
