A looming major winter-type storm still just less than 2 days out has already prompted the National Weather Service (NWS) to hoist Winter Storm watches in the northern Kansas City MetroRegion.
The watch covers parts of southern Nebraska- northern and northeastern Kansas as well as most of northern Missouri Monday night through Tuesday. Likely additional watches will be issued over the next 24 hours.
In addition- a more-minor weather disturbance will produce anywhere from 1/2-inch of snow in parts of Metro Kansas City later tonight- to around 2-3-inches in far northern MetroRegion areas like Maryville MO.
The storm that's already had winter storm watches posted near Los Angeles will generate in the southern Rockies Monday and move through the Central States Tuesday.
An icy mix is possible in Metro Kansas City beginning late Monday night or early Tuesday morning- changing to snow late Tuesday.
As yet- no snow- or ice accumulation bets are being taken locally yet.
Weather models continue to indicate snowfalls of a foot or more in a southwest-northeast swath somewhere near the central portions of the Central States: right now parts of southeastern- eastern Nebraska into Iowa.
Four-inch snow amounts are possible as close as Lawrence KS on Tuesday according to present forecasts.
This is a developing weather situation- and a very serious one for those planning travel early this week.
