Snow fell in western Kansas this morning, with a few inches accumulating in a few places!
Now the snow is done and we will be clearing out for the afternoon. Arctic air is here again today, which will keep temperatures cold. Clouds hang around for most of the morning, but they will clear up in the afternoon and allow for some sunshine.
A cold night in store with clearing skies and lows in the teens and 20s.
Another sharp warmup follows on Tuesday as southwest winds take over and shoo the cold air away to the east. Milder temps will hang around through the middle of the week.
By Friday, another storm system diving south from the arctic will shove a remarkably strong cold front into the area. This will be the coldest air of the season so far, bringing highs in the teens and lows near zero for some areas by Saturday.
Moisture will rise to meet this front, and that may generate a wave of widespread precipitation over the southern plains. This would likely be snow, with southern Kansas to central Oklahoma favored for the best chance. We will continue to monitor this chance as we get closer.
