K.C. MetroRegion WEATHER: Out Goes Snow - In Comes Cold

Light snow continues to fall off and on throughout Metro Kansas City and very light snow and/or freezing drizzle continues over much of our MetroRegion.

Clicking on the following images- you can see the visible satellite photos in various stages of resolution - as well as the NWS Doppler weather radar image from Topeka-KS that covers Metro K.C. quite well thankewvurrymuch.

You can't see most of the very light precip on radar even though the radar is in it's most sensitive mode. But a band of blue you see from southern Johnson through Miami into Franklin counties in KS bears watching as that indicates a heavier precip area.

At any rate- the atmospheric systems causing the precip is moving away and taking it's dynamics with it.
So by late evening- the precip should end from northwest to southeast across the MetroRegion and colder air pushes in on gusty northwesterly winds.

We're lucky.
Folks from Oklahoma and northern Texas into the Ohio Valley are experiencing an ice storm. Northern Arkansas and south to southeastern Missouri's been hit pretty hard by 3/4 to 1-1/2-inches of ice and many are without power down there.

GOOD NEWS: The temperature should finally rise above freezing just in time for the coming weekend- with temps around or slightly above average through early next week- so say the weather charts I'm looking at.
