Two rounds to go!

Doesn't this always seem to happen? We see light at the end of our winter tunnel, and all of a sudden, we get hit. This winter has been a little strange, but all of a sudden we seem to be in an active setup.

So here's what you need to know for the next round coming to Kansas:

The next batch of moisture is going to move in from the south (likely be after 4 or 5 p.m.). Unlike what happened Tuesday morning, there won't be thunderstorms with this next event. However, we still expect all precipitation types, include sleet, snow, and some freezing rain.

5 PM Wednesday Evening

8 PM Wednesday Evening

Midnight - Early Thursday

While we still don't expect enough ice accumulation to cause major power outages, there will be some very slick roads. The same areas that had icy weather Monday night have the best chance of slick conditions Wednesday night/early Thursday.

What about the weekend storm?
The Saturday system looks less and less impressive all the time. The storm is tracking right over Kansas, which drags too much dry air through our state. That will cut down on our chances of higher rainfall amounts. A few rain showers will develop Saturday, and some snow may slide across northern Kansas, but I'm thinking the majority of snowfall accumulation is going to go into Nebraska. 

The active weather isn't over yet!
We could be looking at another chance for some wet weather right at the beginning of March. It's early to say very much about the system, but another system sets up in the southwest, which could be good news for the Plains. We sure do need it.
