Yet another storm to watch

Now into December and the active weather for the Plains shows no signs of easing off the throttle just yet. By the way... welcome to meteorological winter!

The weekend storm decided to spin around and produce some big snows in Nebraska. Just look at the snow analysis this morning across the US. There's basically some amount of snow on the ground between central Kansas and Canada. Last year at this time, hardly anything around the country. So this winter is starting off VERY different than anything we've seen recently.

Late Week Storm Update:
We do have another storm to watch at the end of the week. It's expected to form in southern California and track into the Plains by Friday/Saturday. One computer model (which I think is closer to being correct) keeps the storm across Oklahoma and Texas. (This is the European model)

Still another one has a major dumping of snow for central and southern Kansas arriving into Saturday. (This is the GFS for those who are super weather savvy)

Please be careful about what weather information you share on social media this far out. We don't really know which model will nail the storm. It could be somewhere in between, but we are confident there WILL be a storm at the end of the week.

Have a great day. I'll be updating you on this throughout the week both here and on air. Stay warm!
