Winter Storm Watch

Try not to get too excited about Spring just yet; it appears another significant Winter-like blast is heading our direction for Friday evening/night into Saturday. I have attached three graphic products from the National Weather Service for your viewing and below is the latest information, also from the National Weather Service:


Despite warm temperatures Thursday and Friday, much colder air will move into the area late Friday, and a strong storm system will develop over the high plains and move toward the southern plains on Saturday. High temperatures on Saturday will be 20 to 30 degrees cooler than Friday and blustery north winds will occur creating cold wind chill readings. Areas of accumulating snow appear likely. The track of the storm system is still uncertain, so it is also uncertain where the heaviest snow will fall. Anyone with travel plans this weekend is strongly encouraged to keep up with the latest weather forecasts. Before the weather turns back to winter, strong thunderstorms will be possible along the front.

It appears that a Winter Storm Watch may be issued by the National Weather Service, but the extent and specific location is yet to be determined. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
