Wednesday Forecast and White Christmas Potential

Wednesday: Tomorrow will start decent with temps in the mid 40s. Rain showers will be around for most of the day with rain exiting by late afternoon. Temps will hold in the mid 40s all day. Winds will be from the W at 10-15 gusting to 30mph. Winds will shift from the SW after nightfall.

Plains Winter Storm: Up to 15" of snow fell in Kansas from latest winter storm. Drifts were 4-5' tall. Kansas and other surrounding states impacted by this storm will have a White Christmas.

White Christmas: As for us, a White Christmas does not look likely. Rain looks possible that day with about a .1". New models are taking precipitation completely out of the forecast. I will need 1 or 2 more model runs to confirm this. The day will start in the high 30s and will fall through the day. To be an official White Christmas, you must have 1" of snow on the ground on Christmas Day.

Good luck on the last day of finals and have a great Christmas Break!!!
