Statement as of 4:18 PM CST on February 11, 2012
... Winter weather event expected late Sunday night through Monday night...
A storm system will move into the Midwest on Monday. Moisture
will gradually spread northward into the region late Sunday
night and interact with a cold airmass already in place. Light
snow will begin across extreme southeast Kansas and portions of
southwest Missouri along and west of the Highway 65 corridor prior
to sunrise Monday. This light snow will spread over the entire
area during the day Monday... with periods of light snow expected
through the day. It is possible for light snow to mix with light
sleet and freezing rain Monday afternoon in areas along and south
of the Highway 60 corridor. Light snow is expected to change to
freezing drizzle Monday evening... which will persist across the
Missouri Ozarks through Monday night.
Storm total snow accumulations of one to three inches are expected
by Monday evening. While these snow totals will be light... ground
conditions will be below freezing at the onset of snowfall and
precipitation will quickly stick to roads and other exposed
surfaces. The Monday morning commute will be affected by
accumulating light snow... especially for areas along and west of
the Highway 65 corridor.
Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or your local media for the further
updates on this episode of wintry weather expected from late
Sunday night through Monday night.
