(IowaStormCenter.com) — A high-impact winter storm is set to hit parts of the plains Tuesday morning through the evening.
While we experience extreme cold, areas further south are gearing up for a major winter storm and since I have family in southwest Missouri, we will cover this event.
A strong area of low pressure will sweep through Texas, then curve northeast to bring a high risk of heavy snow through the area on Tuesday/Day 2.
Once Tuesday morning hits, an area of light to moderate snow will increase across southern Missouri as soon as 5-6 AM extending through the late morning hours where minor snow accumulation will occur.
Then the system will maximize Tuesday afternoon with heavy snow rapidly developing which will lead to a period of 1-2″ per hour snowfall rates through Tuesday evening. This is when snow will stack up for the remainder of the storms stay.
A widespread 6-12″ of snow is anticipated over the area with locally over 12″+ for those in the high risk zone across far southeast Kansas through southern Missouri.
