Kansas City MetroRegion Weather: Snowstorm Late And Less



The possibly largest single snowfall for the K.C. Metro is late in developing- and doesn't look as impressive this morning but still a PITA.


The upper system is still digging south along the Texas-New Mexico border while a surface low sits near Wichita Falls-TX this hour. All indications are that the storm will pull east then northeast much farther south than the models showed just 12 hours ago.

Snow has finally began falling in the southern and southwestern portions of the MetroRegion as depicted by this latest NWS-Pleasant Hill Doppler radar image.


Snowfall could begin in Metro K.C. during morning drive-time.

New snow forecast totals by this evening: 1/2 to 2-inches from an about Leavenworth to Liberty-MO line- 1-1/2 to 3 inches from about a Lawrence-KS to Lexington-MO line (including much of KC & northern JOCO-KS and mid-KC-MO)- 2-4 inches along and south of a Baldwin City-KS to Lone Jack-MO line.

Heavier snow is expected generally along and southeast of a Garnett-KS- Harrisonville- Warrensburg-MO line at this time. More than 4-inches expected there.
