Winter storm update - Wednesday

Our storm is pushing in from the west and I wanted to show you some snapshots out of our latest Future Track. This is still not looking to be a huge storm, but it will be our strongest of the winter season (at least around Kansas) and for most, the first chance at accumulating snow.

The storm begins to produce some rain/snow late this evening:

After midnight, we should start to see some rain & snow developing into central Kansas. There will also be north winds gusting to over 30 mph (the kind of wind that wakes you up and rattles the house) that will create significant blowing snow.

This storm is moving very fast and has a limited supply of moisture to work with. So I'm expecting the snow will end quickly Thursday and sunshine will return during the afternoon.

 So here is a look at our snowfall forecast. It really hasn't changed much since we first put out some numbers Monday. Bottom line is that most of the state will get snow. The best chances at getting 3 inches will be focused over central and north central Kansas. But measuring any amount of snow will be extremely tough because so much of it will be piled up in the strong winds.
