Weather 2020

01/03/2026

I had an earlier post on my other social media, and thought you would all like to see this from our model. I will be in Kansas City all next week, speaking Thursday at Farmcon. Another chart I will be sharing is this 15–17 inches of snow forecast for the Kansas City area this winter. This is straight from our patent pending model, the only model in the world that uses weather cycles. This map reflects the same signal I discussed earlier today — the weather pattern cycling between the two phases I posted earlier. I flew in two days early last year so I could be prepared for the 11" blizzard. Let's see what happens on my trip this year. Have a great Saturday!

Happy New Year’s Eve!
Andy and I have been hitting the gym hard in 2025—with our eyes already set on big goals for 2026. 💪 What a year it has been. This time last year, I had no idea that just a few months later I’d be stepping back into doing the weather on KSHB for a 12-week run. Along the way, Sunny & I have both healed—my shoulder is strong again, Sunny’s shoulder is fully healed—and we’re feeling grateful, healthy, and energized heading into the new year. And, Andy has gotten into incredible shape! As the calendar turns, we’re ready to take on whatever 2026 brings—stronger, wiser, and more motivated than ever. Have a safe and wonderful New Year’s Eve. I’ll check in with you all next year.

Snow Squall Warning just west of Lawrence, KS! The white shows heavy snow and this is moving east at 45 mph. Snow is likely in KC in the next three hours. A few slick spots are likely. Visibility will be reduced on I-70. Please take pictures and let me know what you experience!

A sharp Cold blast is developing and surging southward. Ahead of the front, temperatures will be more than 80 degrees warmer in Kansas City than the air mass poised just to the north. At 9 AM Sunday, KC is near 64°, while southern Canada north of Montana is at –18°. That is an 82-degree temperature contrast—a stunning contrast, so get ready for this cold blast. Accumulating snow will develop in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and maybe a few snowflakes in KC.

Good morning & Happy Holidays. I just got invited by a friend since elementary school to go to Lake Tahoe. A series of storm systems is heading into California and rain will change to heavy snow on Christmas Day at lake level, so Tahoe Here I Come! I will report from there this week. Yes, this means Andy will be alone with Rainbow and Sunny for the holidays, but we will celebrate New Year's together. Here is the Youtube video I just posted, and please like and share the video as it showcases the winter forecasts that are already wrong, already way off on the forecast and it is only the first full day of winter.

Weather 20/20 has found the blueprint of the atmosphere. A series of storm systems blasting into California will likely produce 3" to 8" of rain over Souther...

A record warm Christmas Eve & Christmas Day are in the forecast in many locations. A major storm is forming off the west coast and will blast in this holiday week. The snow levels will be extremely high at first and then they will lower bringing a white Christmas to Lake Tahoe and a nice present to the ski resorts. Here is the link to our report: https://open.substack.com/pub/weather2020/p/winter-begins-with-a-signature-moment?r=183akg&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Winter Begins Sunday at 9:03 AM Central Time. A Huge Record Breaking Warm Up is in the forecast ahead of a major storm. Goooooooooood morning! On this last day of fall a major storm is beginning to organize off the west coast. If you have been tracking the Weather 20/20 forecasts, then you may know we have been forecasting a major storm right around Christmas Week since they got hit by one in mid-October. 3" to 10" of rain is likely over Southern California with 15" of rain in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Snow levels will be very high to begin this holiday week of weather and by Christmas Day Lake Tahoe will likely see the rain change to very heavy snow with 6 feet over the western slopes and two feet at lake level. Kansas City and Denver are likely to have near record high temperatures in the week ahead. Have a great start to your weekend. Andy, Sunny, Rainbow, & I wish you safe travels and a special holiday season!

Goooooood morning! Look At The Forecast For Christmas Week. Christmas Day may be the warmest day. Highs in KC may reach 70 degrees two times next week. It has never been 70° on Christmas Day in KC. The warmest Christmas Day ever recorded was 67° in 1922. This year's LRC has featured a strong Anchor Ridge near Colorado which is causing the conditions for these big warm-ups.

The 2025–2026 Winter Forecast Guide is now live. This year’s developing atmospheric pattern, the LRC is revealing a very structured winter—with big warm-ups, a few strong cold shots, and key storm windows. Watch the full breakdown here:

I share the two main phases of this year's cycling pattern.

The next storm looks as if it will be tracking north of Kansas City. Snow will spread across Iowa with a band of 4-6" near Des Moines over the weekend. A cold blast will move through the region with the forecast for Sunday Night Football between the Texans and the Chiefs is for it to be dry with temperatures dropping to 19 degrees with wind chills near 0 during the game. We issued our LRC Winter Weather Forecast from Weather 20/20 and there are two main phases of this pattern that will be cycling through in the year ahead. I will share more in the coming days and weeks as we learn more about the cycling pattern.

🌨️ Gooooooooood morning, Kansas City — and PLEASE be careful out there! It is slick and hazardous for driving around KC🌨️
Heavier snow is now surging across the KC metro, and the latest radar shows new bands rapidly developing. Roads are already treacherous, with visibility dropping and slick spots forming everywhere.
🌨️ TIMING:
Now through 3 PM — the main band of snow will sweep across the region.
Most of the 2–4 inch totals are likely north of the line shown, centered right over the KC metro. There will be 1" or less south of that line.
After 3 PM — snow will gradually end from west to east, but roads will remain slick well into the evening.
If you MUST travel this morning, drive slowly, give yourself extra time, and be careful around your car as it is easy to slip and fall.
And please — share your pictures! I’d love to see what it looks like in your neighborhood.
Later this week, we’ll release the Weather 20/20 Winter Forecast, and there will be a lot to talk about.
Are the kids excited yet?
And here’s an interesting weather fact — Kansas City is getting its first inch of snow before Denver this year. Wow! Here in Golden, CO, our inch may come Wednesday.
❄️😊

🎉❄️ Hey Kansas City… have you told the kids yet? There’s a real chance of SNOW on Monday! ❄️🎉
I’ve been diving deep into the latest LRC-driven data and model trends today, and right now the chance of snowfall is around 90% starting sometime Monday closer to noon. Yes — a high chance we’ll be seeing snowflakes flying, and possibly some big snowflakes! As of this evening’s analysis, 2 to 4 inches of accumulation are possible across the KC metro. Now remember… that does not automatically mean 4 inches. Adults and kids tend to lock onto that top number (😄), and remember, forecasting snow in Kansas City is quite difficult and there will likely be a shift north or south which could mean anything from a dusting to around 2 inches for many neighborhoods, if that shift goes the wrong way, or right way, depending on your perspective.
The atmosphere still has two full days to organize this piece of the pattern — and that’s what makes it fun.
We’ll fine-tune the track, timing, and totals together.
I’ll be doing a LIVE Facebook update tomorrow to go over everything: the latest models, how the LRC is shaping this storm, and when the snow is most likely to begin. What time works best for you on Sunday? Enjoy your Saturday night — It snowed 1/2" here, our first snow this morning. For those of you around Denver, this storm starts over the mountains and may produce snow from Golden to Denver Sunday evening.
