Tracking multiple systems bringing chances for rain and snow

TONIGHT: A system moves over us bringing chances for rain and snow. It starts off as rain, but as temperatures drop, we'll see snow start to fall. The heaviest band of snow is to the very NW part of Missouri, which is why we won't see a noticeable amount of snow. Amounts as of right now for this area is a dusting to 1/2 of an inch. Jefferson City will be seeing much less of a dusting if anything. I'm not optimistic about accumulation for this system. Our area reached much higher temperatures than expected, and it'll take a while to drop back down. With that, it means road temperatures are above freezing as well, and will take a while to cool off.

TOMORROW: The system is sticking around early Sunday morning, with chances of snow still high. This is where our area could see some road conditions affected. Since our temperatures will finally be below freezing, roads could start getting slick, so make sure to drive safe. Then as we move into the afternoon, the main system moves out, but we could still see some scattered showers.

EXTENDED: Late Tuesday night into Wednesday is our next big chance for widespread snow. This is where we could see higher chances for accumulation. The highest amounts of snow as of right now is trending to be the SE part of Missouri, but if that shifts, we could see higher amounts. One of the main factors that will affect the observed accumulations is the temperatures. The trend as of now is they will be walking the line of above and below freezing. If this stays true, the snow could shift to rain and start to melt. It is coming overnight though, so the chances for accumulation are higher. Make sure to watch our updates throughout the week in order to be alert and ready for changes in the forecast.
