Heavy Snow from the Midwest into the Great Lakes; Locally Heavy Rain in the Western Gulf Coast

A significant winter storm will produce a broad area of moderate to heavy snow from the Midwest through the western Great Lakes. Significant snow accumulations of 6-12 inches, and locally more than 1 foot, and gusty wind may cause hazardous travel conditions. Thunderstorms, some severe, and showers may produce locally heavy rain and isolated flash flooding along the western Gulf Coast. Read More >

A quick-moving clipper system will move through the area Monday into Monday night bringing the potential for some light snow (35-70% chance). Snow showers will begin with isolated to scattered coverage with only light accumulations, if any at all. The best chance for light snow accumulation on roadways comes with a quick eastward moving band of snow between 4 and 11 PM. Total accumulations are expected to stay below an inch except for areas along and north of Highway 54. Some sleet and/or freezing rain may also mix in across south-central Missouri.
This week's forecast features cooler than normal temperatures to begin December. After wind chills this morning near the single digits, highs will only reach into the 30s. Chances for snow arrive Monday and Friday.
