THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MISSOURI
OZARKS AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST KANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED...

  SIGNIFICANT FOG RISK.
  LIMITED ICE ACCUMULATION RISK.

DISCUSSION...

AREAS OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AND DENSE FOG WILL PERSIST THIS MORNING
ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN MISSOURI. LITTLE IF ANY ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF ACCUMULATING
SNOWFALL TO MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW AMOUNTS REMAIN IN QUESTION AS THE TRACK OF
THIS STORM SYSTEM IS YET TO BE DETERMINED. AT THIS TIME...IT
APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE
ACROSS CENTRAL MISSOURI AND CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH THAT A
WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CENTRAL MISSOURI.

WINDS WILL GUST UP TO 30 MPH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS
MAY CAUSE SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

THE COMBINATION OF RAINFALL AND MELTING SNOW WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
RISING CREEKS AND RIVERS FROM LATE THIS WEEKEND INTO TO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THIS MAY RESULT IN FLOODING OF SOME LOW WATER CROSSINGS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
