The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch in effect Sunday evening through Monday Afternoon. This watch is issued for Camden, Miller, Maries, Phelps, Osage, Gasconade, & Montgomery Counties. The watch will be either lifted or re-issued by 3 pm on Monday. Tuesday another system moves in, bringing the possibility of some moderate accumulation to the viewing area. At this point the watch means to prepare for incliment weather within the next 24 hours. Everyone in the watch should prepare for the worst of the wintry mix. Everyone else outside the watch should not let your guard down, but continue to pay attention that your county is not included within the watch soon.
As of now, it looks like the cold front will arrive in Mid-Missouri around 3 or 4 pm tomorrow. Showers and thunderstorms will develop ahead of the front and after the frontal passage temperatures will plumit into the 30s and 20s. This will cause the rain to change over to freezing rain after sunset. Towards midnight expect everything to change over to sleet and snow. About .1" of ice can be expected for most of us, with up to .20" of ice for areas along the I-44 corridor. After minor ice accumulation, expect about 1" - 2" of snow on top of that. The snow will taper off Monday mid day before another round of snow moves in Monday night through Tuesday.
Stay tuned for more updates!
