CSW Weather: Rain This Week- Snow Before Christmas?

It's a rainy Tuesday around Metro and MetroRegion Kansas City- and that's slated to continue through at least midday Wednesday (tomorrow)...


Unseasonably mild temperatures will keep the precipitation as rain- with even a few thunderstorms possible tomorrow before this current weather system moves rapidly from the Central States.

More than an inch of rain is expected locally (see accompanying rainfall forecast graphic).


Christmas 2011 is a week from this coming Sunday- and current weather forecast models show at least two chances of wintry weather before then.

A storm system is predicted in our area by the beginning of next week- and some of the weather models show wintry precipitation on the backside of that storm system by late Tuesday into Wednesday.

Another storm system on the heels of the early-week storm indicates that event could be all frozen-variety precipitation.


It remains to be seen if there'll be snow on the ground on Christmas- but there are at least two incoming storm systems that COULD provide that.
