Not one, but two rounds of moisture this week

Bruce Renick - Charleston

How does Monday come around so fast?? Here we are at the start of another week and it's our last one in February. The way things are trending now, February will end on a stormy note with more moisture headed for Kansas. And there is a good chance March may come in a bit like a lion with a very active weather pattern across the central and western US.

The first system that will roll through central US should come through Wednesday night. The storm will latch on to some cold air in the northern Plains and drag it south, so the second half of this week will be quite cold once again. There is a chance for light snow Wednesday evening, but it shouldn't be much more than a light dusting to one inch for the area.

More Arctic air will slide into the area for the end of the week. Highs will be 20-30 degrees colder than normal by Friday (normal high is about 50 degrees for the last week of February)

The second storm system worth watching comes in Friday and for the weekend. There is a broad storm system opening up west of the Rockies, and this type of pattern forces us to keep chances for moisture in the forecast from Friday all the way into Sunday. Widespread, accumulating snow is certainly possible getting into the weekend. If you are not a huge fan of cold and snow, I can tell you that a south breeze should help to warm the temperatures (at least a little) by Sunday.
