Looking at this late evenings (Wednesday) satellite image, there are two features in particular that I want to discuss. The first is the "X" across northern Mississippi that brought some rain to parts of Kansas and Oklahoma during the day Wednesday. There other feature, and more important one, is the "L" over southern Arizona. This Low will move east towards the plains tonight and Thursday. Widespread rain will develop and overspread Colorado, southern Kansas, New Mexico, much of Oklahoma and Texas. Snow will fall across the higher terrain of Colorado.
Amounts of precipitation will vary considerably from one location to the next as much of the precipitation will be convective, in other words pockets of heavier rain in the midst of lighter amounts. One of the computer models suggests the following that could fall by late Thursday morning.
Additional rain will fall across much of the southern part of Kansas and into Texas and Oklahoma during the afternoon Thursday.
More later when I get more time....
