MM’s Winter Wx Concerns
A few flurries are possible in the early evening. A few of you may see some of these flakes land on surfaces and stick around. I don’t expect any impacts to travel.
Guidance is beginning to strongly suggest that snow will accumulate on Sunday. Amounts are highly questionable at this time but I think we can expect at least one to two inches. Just prepare for high impacts to travel for Sunday. While the precip moves out Sunday night, travel is liable to be hazardous into Monday if we get accumulating snowfall on Sunday. More data will come in today and hopefully clear up the situation even more. At this time, Saturday looks alright with mostly rain falling across the area. The changeover to snow should occur after dark, especially after midnight. Stay tuned.
On This Day in Wx History
1886 – A great blizzard struck the state of Kansas without warning. The storm claimed 50 to 100 lives, and eighty percent of the cattle in the state.
