Winter in Kansas could be above average temperatures.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting temperatures will be “up and snowfall down throughout most of the United States,” the Almanac’s editor in chief Carol Connare said.
The Almanac predicts a warmer than normal winter throughout the area, with the coldest months occurring during late January and early and late February for Kansas and the Heartland region.
What the Almanac says about precipitation and snowfall in Kansas?
Precipitation and snowfall will be below normal, the Almanac said.
Most snow will fall when temperatures are coldest in late January as well as early and late February.
What will the upcoming months look like?
USA TODAY reports the north-central states — which include Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming — will get a gusty Halloween and then snow in the Rockies at the start of November.
An early November storm is predicted to bring heavy snow and, after it clears, very cold temperatures. After a rainy, snowy Thanksgiving, more storms will kick off in December. But a “generally fair, dry, very cold” Christmas is forecast.
Unseasonably cold temperatures are predicted to arrive in late January.
“This is where we are saying winter feels a little bit more like winter, with the coldest temperatures of the season and average snowfall,” Farmers Almanac editor Sandi Duncan said.
Expect a lot of snow in February, with some generated by that storm forecast for Idaho.
A mid-February snowstorm predicted in the Plains could dump heaviest in Kansas, USA TODAY reported.
