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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  LIMITED LIGHTNING RISK.

DISCUSSION...

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

  ACCUMULATING SNOW IS STILL EXPECTED ACROSS THE MISSOURI OZARKS
  AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER...EXACT
  AMOUNTS AND THE LOCATION OF HEAVIEST SNOWFALL STILL REMAIN
  UNCERTAIN.

  AT THIS TIME...WE EXPECT RAIN TO CHANGE TO SNOW FROM WEST
  TO EAST ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA FROM LATE TONIGHT 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 ONE TO FOUR INCHES OF
  SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR ALONG THE I-44 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 LESS SNOW WITH
  GENEARLLY UP TO A DUSTING POSSIBLE. 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.
