K.C. MetroRegion-Central States WEATHER: Winter Storm Watches North



Two days ago it was a Tornado Watch along the MetroRegion's southern borders- tomorrow it's a Winter Storm Watch (WSW) for areas as close as Savannah-MO (just north of St. Joseph). Up to 5-inches of snow are expected up there.


A Winter Storm WARNING is even in effect tonight for counties in extreme southwestern Nebraska.

You can see by the imbedded graphic (click-on for full size) that Friday's WSW's extend from the Colorado border across northern Kansas and Nebraska eastward into Iowa and north and northwest Missouri.

If the track of the low pressure center is just 50-75 miles further south- Metro Kansas City could see a snowstorm too.

Of course you can check here at CSW for the latest on this developing weather situation over the next 24 hours.
