Kansas Weather: As Moody as You Think

Today into tomorrow, a fascinating early-spring/late-winter will push through the Central Plains. Yesterday and today, we've enjoyed April-like temperatures, with highs at/near 70 degrees. However, a strong cold front is pushing through. The rain has already begun to fall here in Topeka as I write this, and the rain is eventually supposed to change over to snow during the overnight hours. Up to three inches of snow could fall, and this time, I'm not going to say that such a forecast is an overestimate, not after being so wrong on the last snowfall we had here.
Regardless, it's going to make for a somewhat abrupt change in the weather, something typical for Kansas in early March. The high tomorrow will only be around 32, with a wind chill in the 20s. Quite the contrast to the last two days of warmer weather. Still, warmer weather is starting to set in, and soon this long, cold winter will be a memory.
