From one extreme to the other

A strengthening area of low pressure will continue to develop across the southern Plains this afternoon pulling warm, moist air out ahead of it.  For us, this will leave us with a damp, cool and windy Thursday and the potential for heavy rainfall Friday afternoon.  For residents to the south, severe weather is a very good possibility today and tomorrow. 

On the northern edge of the system, a mid-April snow storm could bring over six inches of snow for folks in the northern Plains!  Winter Weather Watches/Warnings and Advisories extend from North Dakota down into far northwest Kansas.  This low will stay to the south of us Friday increasing our winds as it pulls up through the lower Great Lakes Saturday morning.  Earlier this week the potential was there to see a few wet flakes mix in by Saturday morning, but as of now it appears temperatures Friday night won't be as cold.  Let's hope it stays that way!
