A Mix Over the Ozarks

11:29 am in Forecast Discussion by Ted Keller

A Snow Band Northwest of the Low Sunday?

A very slight and light chance for precipitation will occur overnight tonight.

But the two main waves of precipitation will be Friday PM and Sunday. 

For Friday, rain south of Springfield with rain most likely in Springfield and better chances for a rain/snow mix or even all snow north of Springfield.  It doesn’t look as if this first round has much of a chance of laying down significant snow accumulations.

Saturday looks cloudy and cool with the day starting with some leftover light snow or perhaps some mix of winter precipitation.

Then Saturday night through Sunday night, another batch of precipitation moves through the area.  Precipitation type will be determined largely by nighttime cooler readings which might promote more mixed precipitation.  It looks as if much of the precipitation will be rain or a rain/snow mix Sunday day but there is a possibility of a wet accumulating snow Sunday in portions of Vernon, Barton, St. Clair, Benton, Hickory, Camden. Miller and Morgan Counties.  I’ll be watching!

This looks like it will all end with a batch of light snow on Sunday night for much of the Ozarks.

Hey, next week , another southern snow track ( N. Texas, S. Oklahoma, S. Arkansas and N. Louisiana) looks possible in the Wednesday/Thursday time frame.
