Our snowfall forecast hasn't changed much since we first released it Sunday. In the crosshairs of the heaviest snow will be central and eastern Kansas. Some areas are expected to get 3-5", which usually isn't a big snow for Kansas. However, given the snow drought in parts of the state, this storm is getting a great deal of attention.
Start time: Should be around 2-4 pm for southern Kansas. This moisture will spread in from the south as the storm gets energized.
Heaviest snow: This will likely fall between 5 and 9 p.m. This is when we should expect the majority of our accumulation to take place. Wind speeds will stay down below 15 mph, so as we've been suggesting, blowing snow isn't likely to be a concern with this storm.
STORM #2: Another system is coming from the southwest for the end of the week.
This storm will encounter some warmer weather initially, so there's going to be a rain chance before most get a chance at snow.
By early Saturday morning:
It's looking like western Kansas will have changed over to snow, while farther east, it's expected rain will still be falling. Temperatures should still be in the 40s in central and eastern Kansas.
Saturday late afternoon/early evening:
The rain/snow line keeps moving east. There will also be wind with this storm, so we should be ready for blowing snow in western Kansas. And there's a chance we will have several hours of blowing snow into central Kansas too, but so much will depend on the track of the storm.
