FIRST WARN FORECAST: Snow fills the forecast after quest Super Bowl Sunday
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Overnight lows dip to the mid 20s under a mainly cloudy sky. Super Bowl Sunday looks chilly. Our afternoon high temperatures will only be in the 30s, with kickoff temperatures for the Super Bowl right around the mid 30s. Should be just fine for any outdoor grilling you are doing! GO CHIEFS! Should be a mainly dry with a random sprinkle or two, but that’s it.
Our bold winter weather pattern kicks off on Monday. We are still looking at multiple winter storm systems pushing through the region through Wednesday, bringing a good shot at measurable snow and cold air. Let’s talk about the two different rounds and our latest thoughts on timing:
ROUND 1: Monday begins dry, but a quicker and less powerful system comes through Monday evening into Tuesday morning. Right now, it looks like some light snow showers could turn a bit heavier at times into Monday night. A First Warn is in place on Monday, with our higher tier alert “First Warn Weather Day” on Tuesday. We think that the higher impacts with this first round will be Monday night into Tuesday morning. 1″-3″ inches of snow is looking most likely with this first wave. Those along and south of I-70 currently have the highest chance for these numbers, with lower totals north. It’s looking like we could have some minor to moderate impacts on air/road travel, especially early Tuesday morning. This is the “smaller” of the two storms.
ROUND 2: The second wave of winter weather is looking likely on Wednesday. This should be a much larger and more impactful storm system. At this point, we are expecting larger and more widespread impacts during the entirety of Wednesday. This should be all snow, and the entire KCTV viewing area finds itself in the more intense band of snow with this system. This means that an ADDITIONAL 3″-6″ is expected with our latest data coming in. If you have travel plans on Wednesday, please be prepared to move/cancel those arrangements. With it being so cold (highs low 20s) we are expecting this to be all snow. So that is a positive that we do not have a large ice concern. This second storm should be out by late Wednesday evening/early Thursday morning. We are not expecting accumulating snow on Thursday.
In total, the region could see 3″ to 8″ + with the multiple rounds of winter weather coming through.
Temperature wise we are looking mighty chilly in the middle of the week with highs only in the 20s, even some nighttime lows in the single digits and lower teens Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Then, we are at least returning to highs in the 30s on Friday and Saturday.
I am starting to see some signs of another storm next Saturday, but with slightly warmer temperatures, this one could be more of a wintry mix and not as significant of a snowstorm.
