PM CDT this evening.

* Short term trends... light to moderate freezing rain will
continue this morning generally south of a Columbus Kansas... to
Joplin to Springfield line. Additional ice accumulations up to a
tenth of an inch will be possible this morning... mainly on
elevated surfaces. Only minor sleet accumulation is expected.

Light freezing rain or drizzle will be possible across the
remainder of southeast Kansas and far southwest Missouri this
morning.

* Timing and areas affected... light to moderate freezing rain will
continue this morning mainly south of a Joplin to Springfield
line before tapering off this afternoon.

Precipitation will transition to rain and diminish this
afternoon and this evening as temperatures climb just above
freezing.

* Snow and sleet accumulations... only minor if sleet accumulation
is expected.

Total storm snow accumulations have ranged from of 5 to 12
inches mainly west of a Cassville to Bolivar to Versailles line.

Total storm accumulations have varied greatly along and just
west of Highway 65 with amounts ranging from a trace east of
Highway 65... to greater than 4 inches about 10 miles west of
Highway 65.

* Ice accumulations... additional ice accumulations from a light
glaze to a quarter inch can be expected today. Storm total ice
accumulations of a tenth to three tenths of an inch are
expected... with localized amounts as high as a half inch between
across far southwest Missouri between Springfield and Neosho. Most
of the accumulation will be on elevated surfaces... such as trees
and power lines.

* Impacts... law enforcement agencies have reported numerous accidents
across the area. The Missouri and Kansas departments of
transportation continue to indicate that roadways are partially
to fully snow and slush covered. Partial melting of the falling
snow has made roadways especially treacherous due to the slushy
conditions. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution if
traveling today.

Brisk and gusty north winds combined with the ice accumulation
may result in isolated power outages.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of winter
precipitation are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also
possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.
Consider taking a winter storm kit along with you. This kit should
include such items as tire chains... booster cables... a
flashlight... shovel... blankets... extra clothing and anything else
that would help you survive in case you become stranded.

... Flood Watch remains in effect through Monday morning...

The Flood Watch continues for

* extreme southeast Kansas and the Missouri Ozarks.

* Through Monday morning

* rain will continue this afternoon and evening across far
southern Missouri. Meanwhile a gradual snow melt will begin
across southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri.

* Additional rainfall amounts of one half to one inch will be
possible across far southern Missouri from Branson to Alton.
This heavy rainfall could cause flooding of small streams and
low water crossings.

In addition... rapidly melting snow may result in a continued
risk for flooding early this week.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
