And maybe you don’t but I do, and I am not talking a dusting either. I am talking about a 6 to 10 inch snowstorm, like they got back in my home state of Michigan. Right now they’re under a Winter Storm Watch for another 6 to 12 inches.
You all are probably just telling me to move back home, but were just about to close out the month of January on the low end of the precipitation. The National Weather Service says so far we’ve only received 1.4 inches of snow and 0.03” inches of water at the North Platte Airport. If we get a dry February (and yes that means no snow) I am going to get very concerned, as we head towards the beginning of the growing season. So not only would a 6 to 12 inch snowstorm would make your KNOP weather man happy, but it also deep down might make some farmers with winter wheat happy too.
We will miss out on a snow chance tonight. A low pressure system is sliding to the south, giving Kansas and Oklahoma snow. We will be just left with a few snow flurries, and cold conditions, as lows will be in the single digits.
Thursday through Sunday looks dry; highs on Thursday will be chilly, in the 20s. Temperatures will be seasonal over the weekend, with highs close to 40 with lows in the teens Friday through Sunday.
Monday brings a storm system into the Plains, and the Gulf of Mexico opens up. This may bring us some snow to our area. As of right now I have a 20% chance of snow in the forecast. But will continue to re-fine the forecast as we head towards the weekend.
