Latest snowfall track

The forecast for snow into the weekend hasn't changed very much in the last 2-3 days. This weekend storm still looks to target Oklahoma and areas near Amarillo. As we've been saying, there could be some slight changes in the overall path, but I don't expect it will change the outcome much.

When does it start?
The storm should be producing widespread rainfall by Friday afternoon and evening (across Texas and southern Oklahoma).

Saturday 1 a.m.
The storm is producing wintry weather for areas SOUTH of Kansas. It will be moving to the northeast.

7-8 a.m. Saturday:
The light snow will be crossing over into southern Kansas. Meanwhile, western Oklahoma and northern Texas will be having very heavy, wet snow. It could accumulate to the tune of 1-2 inches per hour. 

2-3 p.m. Saturday:
The light snow has moved into south central Kansas and will continue for several hours. We still think areas south of Wichita could get a few inches of snow, but IN Wichita, it will likely be under 1" of accumulation.
There is a great deal of Gulf moisture getting pulled north into the storm, and several areas will see in excess of 3-4 inches of rain (or more). It is once again, another widespread storm.


What's next (after the weekend storm):

Temperatures will moderate (warm) a fair amount by the beginning of next week. How does 60 degree weather sound? It might not be that much of a stretch for some of the Plains states. We also should have several dry days coming next week too.
