Light snow, cold and breezy

Thursday set up

A cold front moved through Kansas last night, ushering colder air into the state along with gusty northerly winds.  An upper level disturbance is passing over southern Kansas this morning and producing light snow across southwest Kansas, while rain and even a few rumbles of thunder in the southeast.  As this system moves along the KS/OK state-line expect light snow to move eastward.  Accumulations up to 2 inches are possible south and west of Wichita  (1" or less for Wichita), while southwest Kansas may have  2-4" on the ground by midday.  A Winter Weather Advisory is in place until 6 P.M. for Kingman and Harper, while that same advisory expires at Noon for Pratt and Medicine Lodge.As this system moves east this afternoon and tonight it will take the moisture and clouds with it.  High pressure will build into Kansas overnight with light winds and clearing skies.  Overnight lows will drop into the 20s. That same area of high pressure moves south into Texas by Sunday, meaning sunshine and favorable winds will produce a much warmer day.  Highs will be in the 60s to near 70.Warmer weather is expected for Monday before the next cold front arrives on Tuesday.  The roller coaster ride of temperatures continues through the remainder of the week.
