HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 1259 PM CST WED DEC 30 2009
Expiration: 100 PM CST THU DEC 31 2009
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
POCKETS OF LIGHT SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE IN EAST CENTRAL KANSAS TO
CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI THIS AFTERNOON WITH ONLY MINOR
ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE. THEN ANOTHER BAND OF LIGHT SNOW IN ADVANCE
OF A COLD FRONT WILL BE MOVING INTO NORTHWEST MISSOURI AND NORTHEAST
KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON...AND DURING THE EVENING...THIS BAND WILL SWING
EAST ACROSS EAST CENTRAL KANSAS...WESTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI. THIS
ROUND OF SNOW MAY PRODUCE FROM A DUSTING...UP TO AN INCH OF NEW
SNOWFALL.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SNOW THIS WEEKEND...AS A NORTHWEST FLOW
STORM SYSTEM MOVES SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON SATURDAY. THE
EXACT TRACK OF THE SNOW BAND IS STILL IN QUESTION...WITH SOME MODELS
SHOWING IN TRACKING ACROSS THE HEART OF MISSOURI...WHILE OTHERS ARE
FURTHER WEST TAKING IT FROM KANSAS INTO SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. CURRENT
THINKING IS IT WILL AFFECT MAINLY THE WESTERN HALF OF MISSOURI AND
EASTERN KANSAS. MOISTURE WISE...WHATEVER THE TRACK...ACCUMULATIONS
IN THE ONE TO THREE INCH RANGE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING LOOK
POSSIBLE. WINDS SHOULD NOT BE A BIG FACTOR WITH THIS SNOWFALL.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED BUT SNOWFALL REPORTS ARE
APPRECIATED.
