Mild weather continues through Tuesday before our next impactful weather system moves in for midweek.
Spring storm system
A strong spring storm system is expected to bring gusty winds, widespread rain, and the possibility of accumulating snow from Tuesday into Wednesday. The system has plenty of moisture to fuel these conditions.
A low-pressure system moving through the Central Plains will bring widespread rain Monday night into Tuesday, transitioning to snow late Tuesday.
Strong northwesterly winds will gust between 35 and 45 mph starting Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday. These winds will create blowing snow, reducing visibility at times.
It’s too early to discuss snowfall totals, but areas east of Interstate 35 have the potential for plowable snow.
