THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  LIMITED FOG RISK.

DISCUSSION...

  PATCHY FOG WITH VISIBILITIES DOWN TO A MILE OR LESS CAN BE
  EXPECTED FROM LATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
  ACROSS PRIMARILY SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

  THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATER
  FRIDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN
  MISSOURI AS A STRENGTHENING STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES THE
  REGION.

  CONFIDENCE IS THEN INCREASING THAT ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL
  FALL ACROSS THE MISSOURI OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN
  KANSAS EARLY THIS WEEKEND. HOWEVER...EXACT AMOUNTS AND THE
  LOCATION OF HEAVIEST SNOWFALL REMAIN UNCERTAIN.

  AT THIS TIME...WE EXPECT RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW FROM WEST
  TO EAST ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
  THROUGH SATURDAY. SNOW WOULD THEN DIMINISH FROM SOUTHWEST TO
  NORTHEAST FROM LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY
  EVENING.

  AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT A SWATH OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES
  OF SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 60
  CORRIDOR AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 49 CORRIDOR. HIGHER
  AMOUNTS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI. AREAS OF
  FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ARE
  EXPECTED TO SEE ANYWHERE FROM A DUSTING TO TWO INCHES. IT
  SHOULD BE EMPHASIZED THAT EXPECTED AMOUNTS AND LOCATIONS OF
  GREATEST SNOWFALL WILL LIKELY CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER MODEL
  INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE. AREA INTERESTS AND THOSE WITH
  TRAVEL PLANS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE LATEST FORECAST FOR
  UPDATES TO POTENTIAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.

  WIND CHILL VALUES IN SINGLE DIGITS WILL IMPACT THE OUTLOOK
  AREA AT TIMES FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
  WIND CHILLS MAY FALL TO AROUND ZERO DEGREES DURING THE LATE
  NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
