... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight CST
tonight...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and freezing drizzle remains in
effect until midnight CST tonight.

* Short term trends... periods of light snow will continue through
this afternoon changing to freezing drizzle over the western
areas. Reports from spotters indicate general storm total snow
amounts ranging from an inch to two inches so far. The Kansas
and Missouri departments of transportation indicate that most
roads are snow covered or partially snow covered. Numerous
traffic accidents have been reported.

* Timing and areas affected... periods of light to occasionally
moderate snow can be expected over the region today. As an upper
level system moves through the region this afternoon... periods
of somewhat heavier snow may be possible. Some intervals of
freezing drizzle will also be possible... particularly this
afternoon and this evening.

* Snow accumulation... light snow with occasional periods of moderate
snow will gradually accumulate through this afternoon. A storm
total snow accumulation of one to three inches with locally
heavier amounts is expected.

* Ice accumulations... freezing drizzle is expected to develop in
this afternoon and this evening. A light glaze with an ice
accumulation of one tenth of an inch or less will be possible
for areas along and south of the Highway 60 Corridor. North of
the Highway 60 corridor... an ice accumulation of a few
hundredths of an inch will be possible.

* Impacts... Road surfaces will be slick today. See the latest
Missouri and Kansas Department of Transportation web sites
(modot.Org and ksdot.Org) for the latest Road conditions and
traffic alerts. Drive slowly and carefully. Be prepared for
completely snow covered roads... or at the very least slick
areas... especially on bridges and overpasses.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory means that periods of snow and freezing
drizzle will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slippery roads
and limited visibilities... and use caution while driving.
