FCST: Snow 2-5 NW MO

EDIT: Our forecast verified as we received 3" of a wet snow in Cameron, Dekalb County.  Heavier amounts were in the southern part of the KC Metro as a convective band of snow developed and produced snowfall rates of 2" per hour for a brief time.  Some accumulations in this area exceeded 8".  ~ CS


Models are in decent agreement that we will have wintery precipitation Thursday night into Friday evening in the local area.  Accumulations do not appear to be much at this time, maybe the 1" to 3", with locally higher amounts, range as things look right now.  However, this will be something we need to watch the next few model runs. 

HPC 4" Snow Probability--Thursday 6 a.m. to Friday 6 a.m.

HPC 4" Snow Probability--Friday 6 a.m. to Saturday 6 a.m.

A more significant system may affect us on Monday.  The latest model runs are forecasting a deeper and stronger system which my give us a shot at a little more accumulating snow during this time frame.  However, this is only one model run and we will be looking at consistency as we move toward the weekend. ~ CS
