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
A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW MAY AFFECT AREAS SOUTH OF A MOBERLY TO CLINTON
LINE THIS AFTERNOON. SOME MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO HALF AN
INCH ARE POSSIBLE MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES. OTHERWISE...SCATTERED
SNOW FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE REST OF THE REGION...BUT WITH NO
ACCUMULATIONS.
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT PATCHY LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE COULD FORM ALONG
WITH SOME FLURRIES. WHILE CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR THIS TO OCCUR...ANY
FREEZING DRIZZLE COULD RESULT IN A VERY THIN GLAZING OF ICE AND
RESULT IN SLICK ROADWAYS.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE ONGOING ACROSS
THE REGION SATURDAY MORNING. ANY FREEZING DRIZZLE THAT IS OCCURRING
SHOULD TRANSITION TO ALL FLURRIES BY THE LATE MORNING HOURS. WHILE
ACCUMULATIONS FROM FREEZING DRIZZLE WOULD BE MINIMAL AT BEST...ANY THIN
GLAZING OF ICE WILL RESULT IN SLICK ROADS.
THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE LATE TUESDAY NEXT
WEEK...AFFECTING THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY...AS A LARGE STORM
SYSTEM SWEEPS THROUGH FROM THE WEST. THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE ENOUGH
MOISTURE WITH IT TO SUPPORT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION
WHICH COULD ARRIVE AS EARLY AS TUESDAY EVENING IN THE FORM OF RAIN
AND OR SNOW. IT IS WAY TOO EARLY TO TRY AND PREDICT ANY SNOW AMOUNTS
AT THIS TIME AS THERE WILL LIKELY BE A PERIOD OF RAIN AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS. LATER FORECASTS
WILL ATTEMPT TO REFINE PRECIPITATION TYPES AND AMOUNTS...SO
INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO CHECK BACK FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED.
