Just issued are the latest long-range National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts for Winter 2008-09.
These first images are forecast temperature and precipitation trends for December.
Click on these images for full size and see that the Central States- Missouri-Kansas-Nebraska- Iowa- Oklahoma and Arkansas-
are forecast to experience above average temperatures and precip next month.
These next images are the combined outlooks for the months of December-2008 and January-February-2009.
As you can see-
much of the Central States are forecasted to have above-average temps and precip through February.
So it appears that the K.C. MetroRegion will experience warmer than average temperatures through the next 3 months- but we'll also be subject to above-average amounts of precipitation- and in the winter months- that generally means snow and ice.
CSW will keep you up-to-date on any winter storm systems affecting the Metro- MetroRegion and Central States.
