Snow in December?
Above, you can see the forecast for December 2nd at the surface. The blue dotted lines are thickness lines 540 and below. The 540 thickness is the first line south of KC and this is the critical line separating rain and snow. The low pressure area over the southwest part of the nation is developing in response to a slowly developing winter storm. This would then slowly move across around the time the Chiefs play Denver. But, this is likely just fantasy! So, let's see what we are thinking next week.
Even before this potential winter storm in 9 days we are tracking two possible storm systems for early in the week. Everything is changing fast, but in the mean time a cold front is on its way for Thanksgiving.

Hey Gary does it look like there will be a snow storm next week at any time and if so does it look big

Hello Gary and Happy Thanksgiving to you & the entire weather team!
I have a question about your long term winter weather outlook. A gentleman, whose name escapes me, said in a recent newspaper article that this winter would be COLDER w/ MORE PRECIP. than normal. How do you respond to this? Is a revision in order? I'm sorry I can't remember the gentleman's name but he was a Professor of Meteorology, but not sure what school he taught for. Keep up the SUPER work!
JAROD:
Thanks for the nice comments... sorry for the late reply. We are forecasting a warmer than average winter with below average precipitation. The pattern continues to evolve. We will update our forecast before Christmas.
Thanks for watching.

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to everybody at the KSHB weather center. Waiting for kids to wake up so I have a bit of time (trying to grade papers as well) Next week def. looks interesting-at the least we will have some cold temps. If this pattern can produce this type of scenario every 2-3 weeks, we could maybe have some fun this winter-at least we may have a shot!! Better chance than if a zonal or huge ridge over us!!!
BILL:
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! :) Hopefully you will get at least a FEW snow days this winter ;)
