... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 PM CST this
evening...
A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and freezing drizzle remains in
effect until 6 PM CST this evening.
* Location... west central and northwest Missouri as well as adjacent
areas of Kansas... including the greater Kansas City metropolitan
area.
* Timing... light snow was quickly overspreading the advisory area
early this morning... and will continue through mid morning. Snow
could briefly reach a moderate intensity... reducing visibilities to
less than a mile with gusty south winds up to 30 mph producing
areas of blowing snow. By later this morning... the steady snow will
taper off with patchy light snow or freezing drizzle possible this
afternoon and evening with little or no additional accumulation.
* Total snow accumulations... of 1 to 2 inches are expected across
the region... primarily this morning. Snow or a light glazing of ice
is possible this afternoon and evening... but is not expected to be
significant.
* Impacts... this is the first accumulating snowfall of the winter
season for many areas. The steadiest accumulating snowfall will
occur during the Monday morning commute... resulting in potentially
hazardous driving conditions. Wind gusts of 25 to 30 mph will lead
to areas of blowing snow and reduced visibilities. For the
afternoon hours... any additional snow or any freezing drizzle could
continue to make travel difficult.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow and freezing
drizzle will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for
snow and ice covered roads and limited visibilities... and use
caution while driving.
