THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.
.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
A MUCH MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THIS PERIOD. THE FIRST STORM SYSTEM
WILL LIFT ACROSS KANSAS...NEBRASKA AND IOWA...SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
THIS SYSTEM MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OVER MAINLY FAR NORTHWEST MISSOURI SUNDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY SOME
PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE FURTHER SOUTH.
THE SECOND AND MUCH STRONGER STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE REGION
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS STORM SYSTEM MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS A LARGER PORTION OF THE
OUTLOOK AREA. ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTY REMAINS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK
AND INTENSITY OF THIS STORM SYSTEM...AREAS NORTH OF THE MISSOURI
RIVER STAND THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...WITH
AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 36 HAVING THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT A CHANGE IN THE TRACK
OF THE STORM SYSTEM BY AS LITTLE AS 50 MILES COULD LEAD TO A
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN LOCATIONS AND AMOUNTS OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL.
INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS
AND OUTLOOKS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS ARE URGED TO REPORT ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THEY RECEIVE FROM
THESE STORM SYSTEMS.
