Short Update - March 6, 2015

In the last post I showed a snowfall map.  After the event the snow was evident on the visible satellite. Look how narrow that axis of snow was!  WOW! (click for a larger version).


This morning it with nearly all of the snow gone, it appears that there may have a been a few spots in that band down in Seward and Meade counties that may have had six or more inches, based on the melting that occurred yesterday.   Forecasting this narrow of a band with the exact placement is impossible.

In the previous blog on March 3 (click here) I discussed upcoming outlook mentioning the warm period that was about to begin and mentioned some dates for possible snow/rain and a cooling periods.

I put the following graph together giving an outlook of temperatures compared to climatology.  In other words, above or below normal readings. Don't take departures litteraly, but it should at least give you an idea of the trends, and the time scale of such trends. Everything in the box is a forecast and prior to that the departures are the actual temperature departures for Dodge City.  Click for a larger version.
