Here Comes Some Rain Showers!

Flurries showed up on radar this morning at 3 AM, North of Kansas City. Temperatures were already warming up in the pre-dawn hours. This afternoon, spotty rain showers are possible once the temp heats up. Overall, this doesn't look like a widespread, heavy rainer for the entire area. Missouri will probably have a better chance at seeing most of the rain showers.

Rain should depart by the Monday AM Rush. Then, the rest of the day will be warmer (in the 50s) under a mostly cloudy sky. By evening, a few rain showers might pop in Missouri (doesn't look like a big deal here).

The main portion of the storm system arrives on Tuesday. Precipitation isn't expected to begin until 8 AM. Temperatures look warm enough to support rain/wintry mix. But, the colder air will channel in throughout the day. By afternoon/early evening, everything becomes snow. Way too early to put out snowfall accumulations because of all these uncertainties.

Wednesday will be quiet with highs in the mid-30s. Thursday a weak cold front passes through and might produce a few flurries. But, the latest model runs show it even weaker than Tuesday's system with limited flurries.

Partly cloudy to mostly sunny Friday through Saturday. Warming into the mid-40s by Saturday.
