How much rain/how much snow?

An update on TWO storms that will plow toward Kansas in the coming days. We've had so many of them lately and it's not over with yet.

First storm - Friday night/early Saturday:
This system will be racing right across Kansas, so given it's limited time in our area, rainfall amounts won't be much at all. In fact, the areas that do get rain should receive less than .25" (and might be closer to .10")

Severe Threat - Saturday:

Any possibility of hail and wind should get east rapidly, but there will be a fairly large area that could see strong-severe storms by Saturday afternoon across Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and into the deep South.

Early next week - Tuesday/Wednesday:


This large scale storm will come through the desert Southwest, producing widespread rains and snows. It has so much potential of producing heavy rainfall because of the connection to the Gulf of Mexico. And there will be some thunderstorms too. Kansas shouldn't see any severe weather, but some rumbles will likely be heard over the area.

I find it very interesting in what feels like a relentless winter that we aren't focusing more on the snow potential. It looks like 98% of what this storm will drop over Kansas will be rain and NOT snow. That being said, there might be a few areas in Kansas where the rain mixes with or changes to snow, but figuring out where that will be is near impossible right now. Once this storm forms and moves into the US, we will learn more about it as it begins to approach us.

Have a terrific day!
