SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Issue Date: 400 PM CST MON NOV 30 2009
Expiration: 600 AM CST WED DEC 01 2010
...FIRST ACCUMULATING SNOW OF THE SEASON APPEARS LIKELY OVER
PARTS OF EASTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS FOR
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...
THE LATEST WEATHER DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE INCREASING
POSSIBILITY OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE AREA FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE MOST FAVORED REGION AT THIS TIME APPEARS
TO BE NEAR THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR IN MISSOURI AS WELL AS MUCH
OF THE EASTERN SUBURBS OF ST LOUIS AND PARTS OF SOUTHWEST
ILLINOIS...HOWEVER ALL AREAS IN EASTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI AND
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS APPEAR LIKELY TO GET SOME SNOW.
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN AS LIGHT RAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BEFORE GRADUALLY INCREASING IN INTENSITY
HEADING INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. COLDER AIR SPILLING INTO THE
REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL HELP CHANGE THE RAIN OVER TO SNOW
OVER MANY AREAS IN MISSOURI DURING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY EVENING IN ILLINOIS.
BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SOME AREAS MAY SEE A FEW INCHES OF SNOW.
IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THERE IS STILL A DECENT AMOUNT OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO THIS STORM...ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT
TO HOW QUICKLY THE COLD AIR WILL BUILD IN TO CHANGE THE
PRECIPITATION OVER TO SNOW AND ALSO WITH THE EXACT TRACK OF THE
STORM. ANY CHANGE TO THESE TWO ITEMS COULD DRASTICALLY IMPACT THE
EXPECTED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WINTER STORM.
