Good late morning bloggers,
As temperatures jump into the 60s and approach 70 degrees a winter blast is poised to hit us again, and soon!
The latest GFS and NAM models have Kansas City near the bullseye of this major storm on Tuesday night. It is only about 36 hours away, so confidence is fairly high that we will have accumulations of snow on Tuesday night, but it is still undetermined who will get hit the most. I think there is a strong possibility of a 1 foot band of snow somewhere between Paola and the Iowa border. Before you get too excited, remember the track and strength of this storm is yet to be determined. It is a storm that forms late tonight and Tuesday as it approaches us and the track could easily shift by 100 miles north or south. But, as I said the NAM and GFS models both have the north side of Kansas City in the highest amounts at this time. Could this be "our turn"?
Watch Brett Anthony at 11 AM on our Midday newscast. He and I will come up with a first guess, but likely leave out the high end possibility at this moment. We will update the blog later this afternoon or evening as we gather more information. Hopefully you will watch our weathercasts tonight at 5, 6, and 10 PM for Kansas City's most accurate forecast!
