A storm system more like one we would normally see in March rather than January is going to be impacting the Nation’s midsection this weekend. Rain and maybe even a few thunderstorms will be breaking out for late today and tonight in the central Missouri River Valley, with heavy wet snow falling further north for especially areas north of Interstate 90 in the Dakotas. Rain and some thunder for tomorrow and tomorrow night will impact the rest of the Corn Belt, with strong thunderstorms likely over the Delta. Meanwhile, snow will continue to fall during that period for northwestern Minnesota, North Dakota, and northern South Dakota. Lighter snow will continue into those areas on Sunday, with the heavier rain and strong thunderstorms that day over the Atlantic seaboard. Winter storm warnings have already been posted for much of the Northern Plains, where some places could see a foot of snow from the system. Strong winds developing in that area for especially Sunday could create blizzard conditions in some parts of that area. Rainfall will be heaviest over the Delta and Southeast, with a lot of 0.75 to 1.50 inch accumulations.
Beyond this weekend, the weather pattern promises to stay active into next week. The next storm system to monitor will be for the time period right around next Thursday. That system will take a much more southerly track, keeping the bulk of its moisture to the south of Interstate 80. Hard- red winter wheat areas of the southern Plains will get just some meager amounts of precipitation from our weather system of this weekend, but will be in a much better position to see moisture from the storm of next Thursday. Precipitation has been well under half of normal over the past 60 days for southwestern Kansas, western Oklahoma, and the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma so that moisture will be welcome. Considerable precipitation will again fall from that storm over the Delta and Southeast as well. Right around February 1 would be another time frame to look for a storm system, again favoring a southerly track though the southern Plains, Delta, and Southeast. Much of the Nation has had a nice spell of warmer temperatures over the past ten days, and the weekend will feature the warmest temperatures so far as our big storm system pumps warmer air unusually far north. However, that will be the end of it, as a colder weather pattern takes shape starting on Tuesday.
