Rainfall update & look at what's ahead

We made it!! Bomb cyclone is done and we are all setup for a great weekend. So I'll keep it short for today. So much nice weather to focus on heading through the weekend and much of next week. I don't recall such a great stretch of weather in months, so hopefully we can all find some time to enjoy it. 

First, a checkup on where we stand with moisture since December 1st. I decided to look at the numbers from the beginning of "meteorological" winter, which runs December 1st through February 28. And since the wet/snowy weather has just continued on, I thought I'd share the numbers through today.


As expected, much of the state is doing just fine in terms of moisture. So much of central and northern Kansas is well above normal on snowfall. Farther south, we haven't had all the snow, but we've had so many wet storms. 

Next week (week of March 18) - much of the week looks calmer across the Plains. We will have to watch another low pressure system that will move through southwest. It should reach Kansas by Friday night or Saturday (March 23) that could lead to some rain or thunder. Initially, it does NOT look like it will be a huge soaking for Kansas. However, we will have to study it over time and see how much Gulf of Mexico moisture it can latch on to before it arrives.

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!
