More cold coming AND another chance for some snow

Hope you had a great weekend. We did have some decent weather over the weekend and hope you had a chance to get out and enjoy some of it. This week, our forecasts will focus so much on different cold fronts that will impact our area. There are several lined up and ready to move this way.

First - a warming trend into midweek:

Should see a nice jump in temperatures for Tuesday/Wednesday (even though the days start out a bit chilly) - west and southwest winds will push us back up into the 60s and maybe some low 70s. And the cold front could be slicing Kansas in half by 4 p.m., but we are still expected to see some milder weather.

Next strong front:

After the front arrives Wednesday evening, we will begin to see some moisture squeezed out as the colder air settles in. There will be a chance for some SNOW! However, this isn't anything that will cancel school or close roads (it is October after all).

But I am expecting that some snow will show up by daybreak Thursday and might get as far east as central Kansas. Accumulation will be little more than some flakes on the side of the road (if that) because the moisture just isn't much and it doesn't hang around for very long. Farther south and east, it looks like a better chance for some cold rain showers, but even those won't last for more than 3 or 4 hours. The big headline will be the colder air.

We will go into detail on the NOAA winter outlook and I owe you an update on El Nino/La Nina soon. I'll get to that this week. Have a great day.
