Heaviest snowfall totals from the holiday weekend storm system were where they were expected to be, which in the Midwest was the Missouri River Valley. Snowfall totals exceeded 1.5 FEET in places like Sioux City, Yankton, Huron, Mitchell, Norfolk, and Sioux Falls. Even heavier snows were recorded further north across the Northern Plains, with about two FEET being recorded in the Minot and Grand Forks areas. Better than 14 inches of snow at Oklahoma City and three inches as far south as Dallas were other remarkable statistics from that storm system. Things are pretty quiet across the Nation’s midsection here early on this Monday, and for the most part it is going to stay that way through the end of the week. There will be a weak system at mid-week though, as by Wednesday morning we will probably see some very light snow again developing in western parts of the region, with that system exiting eastern areas late on Thursday. I would think that snowfall amounts from that system will largely be just an inch or two. Late next weekend would be another time to look for a storm, though current indications suggest that it would impact just far western and far southern parts of the Midwest. Rather than big storms, it looks like big cold may be the more important weather feature as we move into the early part of January. While it will not be especially warm through Thursday (especially when you consider that sub-zero lows will be seen tomorrow morning in the western and northwestern Corn Belt), we will really see temperatures take a dive on New Year’s Day and beyond. Sub-zero lows should be common again next weekend in especially western and northwestern parts of the Corn Belt, and lots of the Midwest will have high temperatures just in the single digits and teens. It looks like a weather pattern pretty locked in; while some moderation in temperatures “might” be seen in especially western and northwestern parts of the Midwest later next week, any hope for some sort of a “January thaw” is not in the forecast picture at this time.
