Southern Plains Snow Machine

Looks to be another heavy snow maker to march across the Southern Plains late this weekend beginning late Saturday night and through Sunday evening. It looks right now that the heaviest snow totals (possibly 5-8") will fall from Southern Kansas into Southern and Eastern Missouri into Southern and maybe Central Illinois.

This will be followed by much colder air and the potential for more wintery precip. by as early as Tuesday.

We'll probably get a few inches out of this snowstorm...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Hey ya'll! What a wild yesterday. I was snowed in at a friend's house. We received 9" of the white stuff and it fell from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (4 hours!!) There was a time when we got more than 3" in an hour, but no thundersnow. Looks like more wintery precip is on the way.

Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder what we'll get out of this, every pattern this year has gone to the north of south of us! And while we did get 5" of snow from one storm, it pretty much missed us too, but then became the Blizzard! I don't mind the lack of snow but I will be Livid if this pattern doesn't change before storm season!

That would suck wouldn't it!!! You'd have to drive across the country to chase!!!

Morning everyone. A new system is poised to come across the area tomorrow. The local NWS is only calling for an inch or less, while one of my favorite mets on local tv is calling for 4-7". I think we will probably see somewhere in between around 2-4" or so. We will have to wait and see...

My guess was close. It is looking like 3-6" for late tonight into tomorrow. A winter weather advisory is in effect for all of Eastern Oklahoma, the SE corner of Kansas, most of Southern Missouri, and all of Western Arkansas. I would not be surprised to see a band of locally heavier snowfall develop somewhere around the I-44 corridor, most likely from Joplin to Mt. Vernon with isolated 8" totals if we can get some convective snow!

I will keep you updated!
