Good Friday morning. Hope you had a terrific Christmas and maybe some of you still have more Christmas gatherings yet this weekend. If you are planning to travel around Kansas and surrounding states today, we do have a chance for some light snow. While it won't be a major winter storm, some accumulation of snow is expected across the far west and into northern Kansas with up to 3 inches possible. I-70 could have some snowpacked and icy spots for awhile today and this evening, but we don't expect it to shutdown like it did earlier in the week.
Going into the weekend, the weather will clear up and we should have sunshine both days over the weekend. Saturday will be the colder of the two days with highs stuck in the low 30s and then warming into the upper 30s/near 40 by Sunday.

| Travel weather Saturday. Wet weather just east of Kansas |

| Another storm enters the Pacific Northwest from Canada |

| Major pattern change by Monday-Tuesday |
We have been anticipating a significant weather pattern change now for well over a week. High pressure is building up in the Gulf of Alaska and that's going to unlock the Arctic air to move south once again. Several other factors have been indicating a change too, and it looks like by Monday night, the cold weather will be taking control.
Highs in the teens will be quite common by Tuesday/Wednesday (Dec. 30-31) and wind chills down around -15 could be a reality by that time too. Although it will be a very slow process, we should start to see temperatures come back up after we pass New Years Day. Time will tell, but be prepared for bitter cold to return next week. If we get any chance for light snow, that will be Monday night or Tuesday, but it won't be any more than a trace-1"
Have a great weekend!!
