Tracking two storms just beyond Thanksgiving

I know many of you are looking for solid information as we try to nail down the two approaching storms just beyond Thanksgiving. We know for certain that the first storm is encountering too warm of air to be anything but rain. So no need to worry about road conditions if you are headed out Friday.

Storm #1:

This system will be passing through Kansas early Friday and by early afternoon, any rain showers should be well east of the Flint Hills. Look at the temperatures behind the chance for showers. It looks very mild still, with many areas close to 60 by the end of the afternoon.

Storm #2:

We will wrap up the weekend with a storm coming through the Plains and it offers up several challenges. First, we know there will be a storm, but how much snow will it produce AND where? Latest information coming in this morning shows the track right across southern Kansas. That would mean most of the snow will go across central and northern Kansas. The storm will be moving fast and may only be around for 12-15 hours, which will limit the amounts of snow.

What we won't miss out on is the wind and cold. Gusts will likely be around 30-35 mph at the end of the weekend, and coming out of the north will lead to a big temperature drop. So please be prepared for some blowing snow on Sunday. That, in combination with lower visibility, might offer up some issues on your trip home. Millie and I will be working on Thanksgiving, so stick with us as we get you updates through the holiday.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
