A large winter storm system will move across the Plains States today through Tuesday night bringing a combination of rain and snow to parts of the region. Latest forecast adjustments have shifted the track of the storm north, which has taken an advertised tight snow gradient across northwest Missouri and moved it still farther north. This will limit the amount of snow received in extreme eastern Kansas and northwest Missouri to accumulations of a few inches or less. However, for those with travel plans heading north or west tonight through Tuesday, you may bump into blizzard conditions (snow and strong winds) across central Kansas into eastern Nebraska and Iowa. Locally, much of the event will be rain, which will start tonight. The far northwest corner of Missouri may experience a bit of a wintry mix late tonight into Tuesday morning, with the threat of snow persisting through Tuesday near the Iowa border. Much of the precipitation will likely end during the day Tuesday; though the exiting storm system might bring a widespread dusting of snow late Tuesday night to areas that had only received rain up to that point. Cooler temperatures will then prevail Wednesday with temperatures starting to warm back up Thursday.
