Big Winter Storm Headed our Way

Today will feature warmer temperatures, with highs climbing into the 40s.

A few spotty showers will be possible later today, and a few of these showers may contain sleet. Later tonight, another area of precipitation will move through, producing a rain/snow/sleet mixture over northern Missouri/Kansas. Little accumulation is expected.

A big winter storm will move through the area this weekend, with precipitation developing late Saturday and continuing through Sunday. Potential exists for upwards of 6 or more inches of snow by Monday morning. However, please note that not all areas indicated may see 6+ inches of snow. There will likely be a narrow, but heavy band of snow to form where enhanced totals will be possible.

Warmer air could allow sleet to be possible as precipitation forms Saturday night.

This could also lower totals for some. This remains a very fluid forecast, so you are urged to continue to monitor for the latest totals and impacts. Of high confidence is near record cold temperatures Sunday and Monday.

Temperatures may not break 10 degrees on Sunday, which would be the coldest high temperature ever recorded in Kansas City during March. The record is 11 degrees set on March 4, 1978.
