SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
Issue Date: 450 AM CST SUN DEC 6 2009
Expiration: 500 PM CST SUN DEC 06 2009
...A PAIR OF SYSTEMS TO BRING WINTRY WEATHER TO THE BI-STATE
REGION THIS WEEK...
A WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AND HAVE
JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LIFT TO WORK WITH TO RESULT IN LIGHT SNOW
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...DUE TO THE QUICK MOVEMENT OF
THIS SYSTEM AND LIGHT INTENSITY OF THE SNOW...MANY AREAS WILL NOT
RECEIVE ANY ACCUMULATION. THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO RECEIVE SNOW
ACCUMULATION WILL BE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST MISSOURI AND
WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS WHERE UP TO AN INCH IS POSSIBLE.
THE LATEST DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL BE
TAKING SHAPE FOR PARTS OF THE MIDWEST. AS OF THIS TIME...HEAVY
SNOW APPEARS LIKELY FOR PARTS OF FAR NORTHERN MISSOURI AND
NORTHWESTERN ILLINOIS AS WELL AS MUCH OF IOWA. SOME AREAS IN
NORTHEASTERN MISSOURI MAY SEE SNOW AMOUNTS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING IN
EXCESS OF SIX INCHES WITH LESSER AMOUNTS EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO
PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. SOME SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR AREAS FURTHER SOUTH...INCLUDING THE ST LOUIS
METRO AREA...AS MUCH COLDER AIR SPILLS IN BEHIND THE STORM LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. VERY WINDY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED
IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40 MPH. IN
AREAS THAT RECEIVE A FEW INCHES OF SNOW OR MORE...THIS WILL CREATE
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS
STORM AND IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH OF A DEVIATION IN ITS EXPECTED
TRACK TO RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST. STAY TUNED
TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR
UPDATES.
