7 March 2024
Our next storm system is in the process of swinging through the area and has started to spark some showers and storms.
There will likely be an uptick in wet and stormy activity through the morning.
Dense fog to the west will also slow down commuters this morning.
Thursday will be a weather aware day. A couple of strong to severe storms will be possible with damaging winds, hail, and even an isolated tornado being the main threats.
Morning storms will be replaced by another round of storms later this afternoon and into the evening.
At the same time we will need to monitor a gradual switch from wet to wintry weather to the northwest.
With unsettled conditions likely today this will also bring about a change in our temperatures too. It will be coldest to the northwest and milder farther southeast.
While some showers and storms continue through the night between Central and Eastern Kansas there will continue to be wintry weather to the west. There will be snow to the northwest with more of a rain/snow mix to the southwest.
This is how we will start our Friday. Brace yourselves for a colder, wet, and wintry day.
While most snow totals will be minor to the west they could still lead to some travel troubles.
We will dry out through the day Friday and by the evening most of the moisture will move out.
The weekend will be pleasant with warming temperatures. The next chance for moisture moves in by the middle of next week.
