Snow Update

Good evening, folks. Meteorologist Nick Kelly at your service once again providing a quick update on the weather ahead this week.

As of this blog post, snow is falling in most parts of Missouri with the exception of the St. Louis Area. The St. Louis Area is still seeing a lot of dry air that's keeping the snow off to the west and southwest in Columbia and Springfield. Eventually, the metro area will see the skies moisten up a little bit and some flurries will come in during the day on Wednesday. Same story applies for Columbia, but Springfield and the Ozarks have plenty of moisture and areas of heavy snow that will bring some accumulation.

KSPR seems to have a really good handle on the snow accumulations that the next storm system will bring. Along and northeast of a line from Warsaw going through Camdenton, Lebanon, Houston and Eminence, snow will stay light enough to warrant just up to 1" of snow. Areas between Lebanon and Monett (including Springfield) will see between 2 - 4" of snow. From Monet and Joplin southwest, snow will total up to 6 inches and they go up significantly as you head into central Oklahoma.

There is light at the end of this tunnel, though. Look at what happens on Saturday around noon. Thanks to high pressure in southeastern Texas bringing in southwesterly winds, temperatures will warm up into the upper 30s and lower 40s in Missouri. Looking ahead into next week, highs in the 50s are not only likely, they are more than welcome to pay a visit to Missouri to help melt the snow and give us a little reminder that Spring is on the way.



That's a look at what's ahead this week. Some folks will see some snow overnight and into Wednesday, but it will not be anywhere near as bad as it was last week. After we get through Thursday, look for temperatures to finally warm up as we head into next week! Have a good night, everyone.
