Weather Update: Two Wintry Systems Ahead

We will see well above normal temperatures Wednesday into Thursday, but another arctic front is expected to move through the region Thursday night. This front will quickly plunge temperatures back below freezing. There should also be a period of time when a light wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain or freezing drizzle can be expected late Thursday night or early Friday morning. This could potentially impact the morning commute creating slick driving conditions. Remember last Friday morning? A second wintry system still looks to affect the area this weekend. A lot will depend on the actual track of the low pressure area (depicted as a red L in the graphic). A track further north would bring a better chance for snow to eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. A track farther south would leave eastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri dry. For those of you who will be traveling this weekend, stay tuned.
