NORTHWEST INTO NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. BROAD SCALE LIFT IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP OVER KANSAS BY THIS EVENING...SPREADING A LARGE PORTION
OF MISSOURI THROUGH TONIGHT. EXPECT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW TEMP
PROFILE SUPPORTIVE OF SNOW AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. SNOW
SHOULD MOVE INTO NORTHEAST KANSAS AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...THEN OVERSPREADING ALL BUT POSSIBLY CENTRAL MISSOURI
BY TUESDAY MORNING. RELATIVELY MINOR...IF ANY...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. HOWEVER DEEP ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL
INCREASE RAPIDLY TUESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

QUESTIONS REMAIN WITH PRECIP TYPE MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A KANSAS
CITY TO MOBERLY LINE. 00Z MODEL RUNS ONCE AGAIN BRING WARM AIR WELL
NORTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA. BUT TO ACCOUNT FOR POSSIBLE
UNDERESTIMATION BY THE MODELS OF THE AMOUNT OF COLD AIR IN
PLACE...HAVE GONE WITH A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN/SNOW/SLEET FOR EAST
CENTRAL KANSAS ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI.

SNOW AMOUNTS ARE THE BIG QUESTION ACROSS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. MIXING RATIOS THROUGHOUT TUESDAY DURING THE
ISENTROPIC LIFT TYPE SNOW ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 3-4 G/KG
RANGE. THEN AS THE SYSTEM WRAPS UP OVER THE REGION TUESDAY
NIGHT...STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT OCCURS. CONSIDERING THE LENGTH OF TIME
OF SNOWFALL...UPWARDS OF 10 INCHES REMAINS POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR
NORTHWEST MISSOURI...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE SOUTH. 6 INCH LINE
STILL LOOKS TO CUT ACROSS KANSAS CITY NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
MACON-KIRKSVILLE AREA. WATCH AREA STILL LOOKS GOOD SO NO ADJUSTMENTS
MADE AT THIS POINT.

WEDNESDAY CONTINUES TO LOOK BITTERLY COLD AND VERY WINDY. EXPECTING
ANY SNOW WHICH FALLS TO BE BLOWING AROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING
VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...CIGS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE TRICKY AS SEEING SOME
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ON SATELLITE NEAR THE TAF SITES. WILL TEMPO IN
THESE BREAKS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...BUT THINK LOW CLOUDS WILL COME
CREEPING BACK IN DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES START TO
FALL AND LOW LEVEL WINDS START TO SWING AROUND TO THE EAST. FOR THE
STORM TONIGHT...WILL NOT GET TOO DETAILED AND GO WITH PREVAILING
GROUPS REFLECTING THE AVERAGE CONDITIONS. LATER TAFS SHOULD BE ABLE
TO FINE TUNE ANY PERIODS WHEN VSBYS MAY GO BELOW 2SM WITH THE
SNOW...WHICH WILL LIKELY OCCUR AT TIMES. WILL ALSO INTRODUCE SOME
SLEET INTO KMKC TAF IN THE MORNING...WHICH WILL BE SITTING IN THE
TRANSITION ZONE THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL
AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI...AS WELL AS EXTREME EASTERN KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A POWERFUL WINTER STORM WILL START TO IMPACT THE AREA LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND
BECOME WIDESPREAD LATER TUESDAY MORNING. LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED THROUGH VERY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING ACROSS MAINLY
NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI AND ADJACENT AREAS OF KANSAS. THE BULK OF THE
SNOW WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

WIDESPREAD SNOW IS EXPECTED DURING THE DAY TUESDAY FOR AREAS
GENERALLY NORTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER. WARM AIR ALOFT MAY WORK INTO
THE AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE MISSOURI RIVER WHICH WILL LEAD TO A
TRANSITION PERIOD TUESDAY AFTERNOON. DURING THIS PERIOD A MIXTURE OF
RAIN...SNOW AND POSSIBLY SLEET IS EXPECTED...GENERALLY ALONG A LINE
FROM KANSAS CITY TO CARROLLTON TO MACON.

AS THE STORM SYSTEM MATURES...COLDER AIR WILL QUICKLY WORK INTO THE
OUTLOOK AREA FROM WEST TO EAST LEADING TO A RAPID TRANSITION BACK TO
SNOW BY LATE TUESDAY EVENING. CURRENTLY...AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A
LINE FROM KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO KIRKSVILLE HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS GREATER THAN 6
INCHES. STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL APPROACHING A FOOT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS
EXTREME NORTHWESTERN MISSOURI INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF
THE LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STORM. A SMALL SHIFT IN THE
TRACK OF THE LOW...PARTICULARLY A MORE SOUTHERN TRACK...WILL HAVE A
MAJOR IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF SNOW THAT THE KANSAS CITY METRO MAY
SEE. INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST
FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS WINTER STORM. IN
ADDITION...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS THIS STORM EXITS. THIS WILL LEAD TO SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCED VISIBILITIES DUE TO BLOWING SNOW.
