Our main concern will be strong wind and an opportunity for hail development but, being that we are on the lower scale of our severe weather risk model, chances for hail or tornado development should stay rather low. The latest model data has come back, and it puts Kansas City and the viewing area into a marginal risk for severe weather Sunday night into early Monday morning. The flipside to this wet weather threat is that temperatures will rise to the upper 50s and lower 60s! The better bet for widespread wet weather will be toward the late afternoon into the overnight. It is still likely to be scattered all day long. There are chances for rain to develop moving into Sunday. As this occurs, we’ll continue to build up instability and moisture content from the south. That will allow a southerly flow to take place. There will be less of a threat for frozen precipitation on Saturday, as temperatures rise into the lower 50s thanks to high pressure transferring to the east. The hazardous conditions could impact drivers, so use extra caution. The National Weather Service says they expect total ice accumulations of “a light glaze.” Very slippery sidewalks, roads and bridges will be possible.
A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect until 11 p.m.
Wind added to the mix, wind chill values may have the metro feeling more like we’re in the teens. Daytime high temperatures are expected to be in the lower and middle 30s. High-pressure continues to impact the Missouri River Valley, which means we’ll continue to transfer colder air from up north.
