That’s not frost”

“That’s snow and it’s cold”

That’s a quote from one of our KNOP employees who got major system shock when she let her dogs out Tuesday Morning. Everyone felt the shock when they walked outside to much colder temperatures (a difference of about 50 degrees) and about a half inch to an inch of snow on the ground. Strong winds and bitter cold wind chills were also an issue Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Increasing clouds will move in later Tuesday night as the next system moves into the plains. Low temperatures will happen early (around 5 Above to 5 Below) then level out as we get some cloud cover in here over night Tuesday into Wednesday Morning.

Snow moves back in Wednesday, highs will be in the upper 20s, but wind chills will be in the single digits. Snow accumulations will be an inch or less. Colder air moves back in Wednesday night with scattered snow showers and windy conditions. Lows will be around zero with wind chills zero to 15 below.

Thursday and Friday we start to head in the right direction, with sunny skies highs will be in the low 30s on Thursday and close to 40 on Friday.

Slight chance of snow comes back into the forecast overnight Friday into Saturday morning. Then sunny skies come back to the rest of the weekend, with highs in the upper 30s, which is near normal for the (how quickly time flies) first weekend in February.

Another system moves into the plains late Sunday night into Monday, at this time I am forecasting a slight chance of snow.

Don’t forget to vote for team idol!
