Rain Mixing With Sleet This Morning...More Rain To Follow Soon
Mainly light to moderate rainfall early this morning - by 5AM, some sleet was mixing in. Still doesn't look like there will be any accumulation from snow or sleet this morning. It's already starting to dry out in northwestern Missouri/northeastern Kansas - as far South as St. Joseph. And I don't see any more redevelopment behind this precip. So, by 9AM, locations East and South of Kansas City will still pick up some rain/sleet. Dry conditions will move in for this afternoon and we should rebound into the 40s.
Clouds stick around tonight and into Sunday. Highs trend higher by Sunday afternoon into the upper 40s to near 50.
A potent system still on tap for Monday and Tuesday. St. Patrick's Day may begin with a few spotty showers. By afternoon, more widespread and heavier thunderstorms are possible. The Storm Prediction Center doesn't have us marked for severe weather - they expect it to be down in Oklahoma and Texas during this time.
Rain and thunder still likely into Tuesday morning. Wednesday through Friday, we dry out with highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Looks like temperatures are starting to warm up...but I'm not completely sold that we're done with the snow just yet. Long-range weather models indicate that there might be another rain to snow mixture next weekend. But, that's way too far out to pinpoint at this time. March sunshine is becoming stronger, day by day...and this means that spring-like temperatures will win out and chase away the snow. Climatologically...it's just not likely.
Have a great Saturday!
