Blah!!!

April is looking to be pretty lame around here with anything that does come our way won't be worth chasing until at least the end of April if we are lucky. The moisture barrier has froze in KS and isn't allowing us sufficient moisture or humidity to get us fired up into spring weather patterns, hence the cold and dry air that has granted us with its presence. I have a feeling the blog will be pretty boring until then so I probably won't post until something changes. We are however supposed to get some Thunderstorms at the end of this week but nothing that will be worth waisting gas on. Here is what I am talking about when I say the moisture barrier has froze in KS. So until we blog again, happy mild weather:(

Worse than expected

Well the NWS took it a step beyond what I thought would happen but UGH... if they are right... I'm going to be pissed!!!

Wet Wet Wet

Well as I said in the previous post we had a chance for rain and snow for this weekend but it is definitely looking like we are going to be getting more than we bargained for.

We are getting slammed with moisture from the SW and then just to our east cold dry air is going to be taking over and creating enough instability to drop in temp and moisturize (for lack of a better word) the cool air, thus creating a ton of cold type precipitation.

This is showing the mixing ratio of mid level winds at 11:00 am Sat. Right over top of our area.








This is showing the precipitible water at 11:00 am Sat. once again right over top of us.









This is showing mid level wind shear blowing the moisture in from the SW at 11:00 am Sat.








Finally this is what is going to suck, here is the precip. outlook for us, pretty much 8-10 in. of the wet wet heavy snow.

Irritated, lame, boring, and wet

Doesn't really make sense does it? Oh well doesn't really matter.

This past week really sucked around here for weather, cold & wet days then the next day it's in the 50's then next thing it's cold and wet again. UGH it's spring already give me something to chase!!!

The outlook for the next week is where the irritated comes into play, nothing besides a chance of snow and rain again for this weekend.

I'm not near good enough at forcasting to say but maybe by the end of next week around the 11th we might, just might have something to look forward to.
