Light snow on St. Patrick’s Day, record warmth to start spring

SNOWIEST. BACK TO YOU. WE’LL JUST TAKE REALLY BELOW AVERAGE FOR TODAY. YEAH. NOT THE BEST DAY TODAY, BUT TOMORROW IS JUST GOING TO BE SUCH A TRANSFORMATION FROM WHAT WE’VE HAD THE PAST COUPLE DAYS. A HUGE WARM UP IN STORE FOR YOU. SO IT’S GOING TO GO FROM WINTER PARK TO OUTSIDE TODAY TO TOMORROW, WHERE YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE IN MAYBE JUST A LIGHTER JACKET OR MAYBE JUST THE LONG SLEEVES WILL BE OKAY FOR YOU. SOME PEOPLE EVEN BE OUTSIDE IN SHORTS AND A T SHIRT FOR TOMORROW. SO BIG CHANGE ON THE WAY WITH A STRONG WARM FRONT COMING THROUGH. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT RADAR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT’S VERY WINTER. LIKE WE HAVE SOME SNOW COMING DOWN. IT’S NOT AN OMAHA ANYMORE, BUT ATLANTIC DOWN THROUGH CLARINDA, MAYBE SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW. AND THEN YOU LOOK SOUTH OF CLARINDA, NEAR MARYVILLE. MAYBE JUST A QUICK LITTLE CLIP OF HEAVIER SNOWFALL COMING DOWN. I SHOULDN’T SAY HEAVIER. I SHOULD SAY MAYBE ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU LIKE A QUARTER OF AN INCH SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT BECAUSE IT’S MOVING SO FAST. A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE THE ROADS ARE DAMP. AFTER THAT, SNOW CAME THROUGH AND I KNOW TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING, BUT THEY’RE WELL TREATED FROM THE STORMS WE HAD, YOU KNOW, THE PAST COUPLE DAYS THAT I REALLY DON’T FORESEE ANY SLICK SPOTS. WE’RE GOING TO BE SO WARM TOMORROW. I MEAN ALL THIS IS GOING TO BE NOT EVEN A WORRY BY THAT POINT. 25 DEGREES, THE SOUTH WIND AT 18MPH, THE VISIBILITY REDUCED IN THE AREA SEEING SNOW. I THINK THIS PRODUCT IS LAGGING BEHIND A LITTLE REALLY. SHENANDOAH AND MARYVILLE SHOULD HAVE THE REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY AT THIS POINT. AND OUR TEMPERATURES NOW IN THE MID 20S. SO WE’RE COLD. BUT YOU LOOK EVEN FURTHER. WEST YORKS AT 41 LINCOLN 36. LET’S BROADEN IT OUT MORE AND WE CAN SHOW YOU WHERE THAT WARM FRONT IS. I MEAN, I DON’T EVEN HAVE TO TELL YOU WHERE IT IS. IT’S VERY OBVIOUS. NORTH PLATTE AT 71 GOODLAND, KANSAS 74. THIS IS ALL MOVING IN OUR DIRECTION TOMORROW, SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A MASSIVE INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES FOR US. THE SNOW THAT’S COMING DOWN WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS OR SO, SO IT’S GOING TO MOVE ON VERY QUICKLY. THE WARM FRONT THAT’S PARKED OUT WEST WILL MOVE THROUGH OVERNIGHT. TONIGHT WE’LL SEE A DECREASE IN CLOUD COVER. AND THEN BY TUESDAY OR EXCUSE ME, BY WEDNESDAY, IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF SUNSHINE WITH MAYBE SOME HIGH THIN CLOUDS OVERHEAD. AND THE WARM AIR IS JUST GOING TO SURGE IN. THE ONE COMPLICATED PART ABOUT THE FORECAST IS THE AREAS THAT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO MELT THAT DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. AND THAT PROCESS ACTUALLY CAUSES YOU TO COOL A LITTLE BIT. IT ABSORBS LATENT HEAT. SO UNFORTUNATELY SOME AREAS MAY BE STUCK IN THE 60S. BUT HEY, THAT’S STILL NOT BAD THIS EVENING THOUGH. I MEAN, IT’S COOL. WE COULD WARM A LITTLE BIT AS THAT WARM FRONT EDGES FURTHER CLOSER TO US. SO WE COULD BE IN THE 30S FOR A PORTION OF THE EVENING. BUT I THINK OVERNIGHT LOWS, WE COULD BE UP INTO THE UPPER 20S OUTSIDE. SO IT’S GOING TO BE A CHILLY START TO TOMORROW. LOOK AT THE BIG DIFFERENCE. BUT I SAID THERE’S GOING TO BE A PRETTY BIG SPREAD ACROSS THE BOARD, ESPECIALLY THE FURTHER EAST YOU GO. YOU COULD BE IN THE 60S AND IF YOU HAVE SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND, LIKE WE JUST SAW THAT POCKET OF MAYBE SOME MODERATE HEAVY SNOWFALL, YOU’RE GOING TO BE STUCK IN THE 60S TOMORROW. BUT IF YOU LIVE YORK BEATRICE, YOU COULD BE IN THE UPPER 70S. SO A TREMENDOUS WARM UP THURSDAY. MOST OF US ARE GOING TO BE LOCKED INTO THE 70S OUTSIDE. AND THEN FRIDAY WE GO UP EVEN MORE. SO CHECK THAT OUT ON FRIDAY. THAT’S THE START OF SPRING. AND WE’RE TALKING TEMPERATURES IN THE 80S OUTSIDE. THAT’S GOING TO BE LIKELY A RECORD HIGH BECAUSE THE RECORD RIGHT NOW IS 78 FROM 1934 FOR A MARCH 20TH DAY SATURDAY, WE’RE UP TO 88 DEGREES. THAT’S IN RECORD HIGH TERRITORY TOO. SO WE GOT TWO DAYS BACK TO BACK HERE WHERE WE COULD GET RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES. THEN A FRONT WILL COME THROUGH. SUNDAY WILL BE A LITTLE BIT COOLER. MONDAY WE’RE DOWN TO 52 DEGREES AND TUESDAY WE’RE STILL IN THE 50S. BUT THIS WHOLE WINDOW HERE FROM WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY, THESE ARE ALL JUST GOING TO BE PHENOMENAL DAYS TO GET OUTSIDE IF YOU GET THE CHANCE. THIS IS WHAT SO MA
