Good morning bloggers,
We will look ahead to a few severe weather risks that are in the LRC forecast in just a second. Let s begin with a look at what just happened and how yesterday s snow put us up to a rather magical seasonal total. 3.5 of snow accumulated at KCI Airport yesterday. This 3.5 is a record for the date, and much more significantly it is the largest snowfall for so late in the season. Kansas City has never had more than 2.7 of snow after April 20th, so this smashes that record, one that likely will not be broken again in our lifetime.
