Rainfall forecast and still a chance for snow

A huge storm coming into the west is causing some problems in California with flooding and blizzard conditions in the higher elevations. It's either feast of famine though with rainfall sometimes. For the longest time, California couldn't buy any moisture and now a series of storm systems will continue to send rain across the drought areas of the west.

Some thunderstorms are possible from Wichita south - snow for the northwest

Sunday - Monday forecast rainfall

The forecast for the weekend hasn't changed much in regards to the timing of the rainfall for Sunday. It looks to start in southwest Kansas around midday, and then it will develop and spread east into Sunday evening. The lack of cold air in the central Plains right now and through the weekend will eliminate the threat of widespread, heavy snowfall into Sunday night, but we still expect far northwest Kansas and areas of Colorado to see some accumulating snow into Monday morning. I-70 could be a little sloppy for several hours Monday morning, so that will be something to take into consideration if traveling. One forecast model is showing roughly .50" rain through Sunday night and early Monday.

Next week, the weather pattern will continue to be very active. There's a chance we could have another storm system coming through Thursday that may bring a rain/snow mix to Kansas. Details coming tomorrow!
