We are currently experiencing one of the driest stretches of weather we've had all fall season. One storm right after another has wiped out drought conditions across the Plains and the ground is still fairly wet in many areas. Winter begins Friday, so let's see what's coming this way.
Midweek changes:
A cold front will push into Kansas on Wednesday. It brings a bunch of clouds with it and maybe some sprinkles or drizzle, but measurable moisture is VERY unlikely. The chances for rain showers will be a bit higher EAST of Kansas.
Very windy midweek too:
Be prepared if you are traveling Wednesday and Thursday the wind will be very gusty. Some gusts will go over 40 mph from the north. Although temperatures will be much cooler Thursday, we still don't have Arctic air plunging this way. So... the temperature change late week won't be that unusual for mid-December.
Looking ahead to Christmas:
We made the prediction a week ago that Kansas would not have a white Christmas this year. I now it's a bummer for some of you. Chances in any given year are only about 10-15% and it's just not in the setup for this year. Temperatures will be cooling back to near normal on Christmas. Most of us should be expecting 30s and 40s for highs. Good travel weather is expected for most leading up to the holiday.
