Snowfall - March 21st, 2013

Event Summary

A quick moving upper level system brought some heavy snow to the Missouri Ozarks late Thursday into Thursday night March 21st. The heaviest bands occurred after dark as a low level jet developed into the region. There were a few reports of thundersnow across southern Missouri during the evening as some convective bands developed which brought snowfall rates into the 1.5 to 2.0 inch per hour amount.

The greatest snow accumulations fell across far southern Missouri south of a line from bolivar to Fort Leonard Wood where totals of 3 to 6 inches were common. Higher accumulations ranging from 7 to 10 Inches occurred across far south central Missouri including  portions of Webster...Wright...Texas...Howell...Douglas...and Ozark counties. Snow accumulations were less across the remainder of  the Missouri Ozarks and far southeastern Kansas where totals ranged from a trace to around 2 inches.
