A strong cold front arrives early Thursday and temperatures start to drop. The high for Thursday will be in the early morning hours as we will only be in the 60s by afternoon with clouds and gusty winds. Why the big temperature drop? Because a massive Spring storm is going to race across the Central Plains. It will bring blizzard conditions while dropping over a foot of snow.

That's Wednesday. The typical high for early February is the upper 50s. That's Saturday along with some heavy rain.
