Thanks for spending a few minutes reading the latest on our next storm that we are concentrating on. It's already in the national headlines today about mudslides in California and heavy rain over the burn scars from last month. It's yet another powerful storm in what continues to be a very active setup across the country.
I understand there are some WILD snowfall forecasts circulating around on social media. The sad part about those misleading forecasts is that it doesn't do anybody any good. So hold off until later this week when we know for sure what's likely to happen. We will have a really good idea by Thursday at the latest.
We are still fairly certain this next big storm will slide
mainly south of Kansas. Southwest and south central Kansas should be on the northern fringe of the real active stuff. Oklahoma and Texas should catch the brunt of the storm. Our Future Track is pegging the heaviest snow to fall in western Oklahoma, but again, the track this far out is still a bit uncertain.
Snowfall Checkup:
Most of Kansas is running above normal on snowfall for this point in the season. Winter hasn't officially started, and Concordia is already about 13" above average. Even most of central and southern Kansas has had more snow than the last few years combined. It's been a very busy start to the winter around here.
Next Week (2nd full week of December):
This should be a milder stretch for Kansas. Now that doesn't mean we will escape without needing coats or gloves, but afternoon temperatures should mainly be in the 40s and 50s (rather than the 20s and 30s that we are seeing this week)
