Good day, everyone!
We have been watching this blizzard for weeks. It is finally about to arrive. For our region, it will be wet not white. Quite a bit of rain.
We need rain, because we are in drought.
First, let’s take a look at the national watch and warning map. It is quite colorful today! This is a change from recent weeks (it has been a fairly quiet weather pattern).

The red colors in Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico are blizzard warnings. Way away from us! No blizzard concerns locally.
A wind advisory has been issued for our southern counties. Gusty winds are likely tonight into Tuesday night. Peak wind gusts will be tonight and tomorrow night. Some gusts to 40 mph are likely.
The bulk of our rain event will arrive tonight into early Tuesday morning. Then, tapering shower chances tomorrow late morning into the afternoon hours.
Temperatures will fall Tuesday afternoon into the 40s on gusty westerly winds. A few snow showers are possible Tuesday night, but nothing to write home about. Just a reminded that it is winter.
More rain arrives Thursday into Friday evening.
I have seen several non-meteorologists posting snow accumulation maps for Friday’s system.
The forecast for Friday is rain. It may end as snow showers Friday night as much colder air arrives. Any accumulation Friday night would be light. The heavier snow will be to our north and west. Similar to this event. It would take a MAJOR shift south and east to bring that heavy snow into our region.
As always, keep checking back. Don’t walk away with one forecast for an entire week and think that it won’t change or need adjusting. There are always adjustments made as an event draws closer.
Now, if you want snow, then let’s keep an eye on next Sunday and Monday. Colder air will be in place (something we have been lacking all winter).
Another precipitation event is possible in or near our region. Some data takes it to our south. That is a possibility. It does, however, provide us with the best chance of frozen precipitation over the next eight days.
