It sure felt good outside today. I am a huge fan of winter weather, but a break once in a while isn't so bad I guess. I was worried yesterday that we didn't melt off enough of the snow with cloudy skies most of the day. But rising temperatures overnight took care of that. I went to bed last night with a mostly snow covered yard, and woke up with almost no snow. Temperatures this afternoon have made it into the upper 50s in most places, with areas from Downtown and southward getting to around 60 or a little higher. Areas to the north were socked in by clouds part of the day, and with a snow pack still on the ground, have only made it into the 40s. Tomorrow should be even warmer with the continued southerly breeze. Highs in the middle 60s are possible, especial from KC southward. To the north, a small cold front and any snow that is left will probably keep them in the 50s.

On Monday, a storm system will be approaching from the west. It will be bringing a chance of rain. Right now, it is hard to say if it will mix or change to snow yet. The latest data gives us hardly any rain at all, then a slight chance of snow. The models have been fairly inconsistent once again with this system, and confidence is still rather low at this point.
