Weekend snow chance update

We made it to Friday and here we go again. Another chance for snow pushing into Kansas and once again, the favored snow track is across the north. If you've ever wondered if patterns repeat, this is proof that they do. Northern Kansas is in the right spot for the snow this winter, while the south is left out.

Here's what to expect:

There's not going to be a ton of wind with this snow chance, so blowing snow won't be a big problem. What we lack in wind, we will make up for in COLD air. Wind chills will be pretty ugly Saturday afternoon.

Snow: This will be a powdery snow (not the kind that's good for snowballs and snowmen), but it's moisture nonetheless. We would need about 20 inches to get up close to 1" of liquid, but nobody will get 20" this weekend.

Because this system is NOT coming through the 4 corners area, moisture is somewhat limited once again. But, given the fact some of you in northern Kansas will have 10-14 hours of light snow, it will accumulate. There could easily be 4-5" amounts along and north of I-70. Could it be more? Sure. That's the case with many storms is that some area might pick up something a little higher, but we are trying to give you and overall sense of what the storm could do. 

Sunday: After early morning clouds and a few flurries, the sun comes out.

Could we see some rain next week????? Well, before we get our hopes too high, just remember how things have been going for us all winter. Most of the storms this winter have found a way to go around us, but a batch of moisture coming up from the south could be here by Thursday or Friday.
