While most of our storm total snow is expected to range from around 1 to 3 inches over the area, some areas in central MO may get around 4 inches.
This winter storm’s main impacts will be with the deadly wind chills and blowing snow, not so much for the snow amounts.
Prior to the changeover, a few hundredths of freezing rain and drizzle will be possible, mainly over South Central Missouri, which could cause some initial slick areas to develop prior to the snowfall.
