Winter Wx Advisory--11/16-17/2009 ~ NW MO

Winter Wx Advisory in effect from 3 a.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday for NW MO ~ Dekalb County is on southern end of the advisory area per EAX Advisory.

Snow--Wet and heavy at times accumulating 3 to 5 inches with locally higher amounts in extreme NE KS and NW MO.

Dekalb County is expected to get a trace to 2"...but as said in an early blog post the track of the ULL is going to be important as is the storms ability to generate its own cold air, which we are currently lacking at the surface (temps in the low to mid 40's at the surface in NE).  Column has saturated nicely, expect warm moist air to continue to be drawn into the system which will cause the heavy wet snow to accumulate rather quickly on grassy surfaces. ~ CS
