Busy weekend - much needed moisture headed to Kansas

Good Friday morning. We've made it to the weekend and plenty of things going on with the Sunflower Showdown Saturday in Lawrence. Girl Scout cookies are going on sale. And then there is the Super Bowl on Sunday (almost like a holiday weekend if you are a huge NFL fan)

A storm system that has been generating some rainfall across Arizona the last couple of days is finally starting to move. The moisture will be pushing northeast into Kansas Friday night and Saturday. The overall setup with the weekend storm is going to favor more rain than snow.  Temperatures will be borderline cold enough for snow. So there is a chance some snowflakes may mix with the rain from time to time, but many of our streets and highways will just be wet and not icy and snowpacked. 

The good news is that there is a chance we could see some .50 inch rain amounts for much of central and eastern Kansas. The amounts will drop off farther west, and many areas in western Kansas will likely end up with .25 or less.

Snowfall amounts will be minimal. You can see one computer model is showing accumulations will likely be under 1 inch, however, some areas in far northeast Kansas will have a chance for some 1-3 inch amounts by early Sunday. It's going to be a tad windy and so much cooler by the end of the weekend. Should be the perfect weather for staying indoors and catching some of the Super Bowl... game or commercials.

Next week.... there is a good chance we will see some 60 degree weather by Tuesday and Wednesday!! So spring weather isn't completely gone just yet, but within the next 5-10 days, we will likely see the much colder air pushing back toward Kansas. Details to come!
