THOUGH. ALL RIGHT. WELL WE GOT TO KICK IN THE WEATHER SOMETIME RIGHT. WE DO HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT TILL NOON TOMORROW. REASON WHY WE’RE DEALING WITH SLEET FREEZING RAIN. THEN IT CHANGES OVER TO RAIN LATER TOMORROW. BUT THIS IS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDDAY TOMORROW ON YOUR MONDAY. I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF HERE THOUGH. ONCE WE GET PAST ABOUT 7:08 A.M. TOMORROW. BUT JUST ENOUGH TO WHERE IT COULD IMPACT SOME OF YOU GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AND ALSO INTO WORK WITH THE ROADWAYS. IN FACT, THIS IS FIRST ALERT RADAR AND YOU’LL SEE THE PINK SHADING THERE THAT NOT ONLY IS IT PRECIPITATION, BUT THAT’S YOUR MIXTURE THAT IS SOME SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. THE BLUE AND NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI IS LIGHT SNOW. AND YOU GO A LITTLE FARTHER OUT. YOU CAN SEE THERE’S QUITE A BIT REALLY LINING UP TO THE SOUTHWEST OF HERE. AND THAT’S WHY THAT IMPACTS GOING TO BE FOR NOW, ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS, PROBABLY TO ABOUT 6 A.M., WITH THE BULK OF IT. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS KIND OF YOUR TIMELINE 30 DEGREES LATER ON. THIS EVENING, 31 AT 2:00 AND 30, KIND OF HOVERING AROUND THERE. BUT YOU GO FROM SLEET TO FREEZING RAIN AND THEN IT’S JUST GOING TO BE SLIPPERY ROADWAYS IN SOME SPOTS. BUT THEN AFTER SIX, 7:00 IN THE MORNING, THE BULK OF IT IS OUT OF HERE. AND THEN WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECEPT TOMORROW AFTERNOON, BUT IN THE FORM OF RAIN, AS TEMPERATURES RISE JUST A BIT. IT IS CURRENTLY 31 DEGREES. OUR WIND CHILL AT 20 WIND SPEEDS ABOUT 16 MILES AN HOUR FROM THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST DIRECTION. LET’S COMPARE THAT TO LIKE CAMERON AT 29 DEGREES, TRENTON AT 30, CHILLICOTHE AT 32 LAWRENCE, KANSAS AT 31 WITH OLATHE AND BUTLER, MISSOURI ABOUT 34. AND YOUR WIND CHILL IS STILL A FACTOR HERE. NOT NEARLY AS BAD AS IT WAS THE LAST TWO DAYS, BUT IT’S FEELING LIKE 20 FOR LEAVENWORTH IN KANSAS CITY AND LISA, ABOUT 22 CLOUDS AND RADAR COMBINED. LOT OF PURPLE SHADING THERE. LOOK AT ALL THAT MOISTURE. JUST KIND OF HEADING IN OUR DIRECTION. THAT’S WHY WE HAVE THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL MIDDAY TOMORROW. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT NICE AND SLOWLY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AS THIS FUTURE SCAN AS WE START WITH NOW AND WE MOVE ON TO THE 1:00 IN THE MORNING, LOOK AT ALL THAT I MEAN, IT’S A BIG MESS OUT THERE. AND THEN TEMPERATURES TRYING TO GET UPWARD. NOW WE HAVE A BREAK IN AT LATE MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON. AND THIS IS RAIN COMING IN IN THE AFTERNOON. SO YOU’LL PROBABLY BE IMPACTED BY MODERATE RAINFALL BY THE TIME YOU’RE GOING HOME FROM WORK AND SCHOOL. BUT AGAIN MOST OF IT’S GOING TO BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON EVENING HOURS. SO TO RECAP, I’LL TAKE IT NICE AND SLOWLY IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THERE’S YOUR IMPACT HOURS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MIXTURE. AND THEN IT’S ALL RAIN CHANCES FROM ABOUT MIDDAY ON THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. WIND SPEEDS ABOUT 10 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR. NINE DAY FORECAST. TUESDAY WE FINALLY GET UP TO ABOUT 39. A SPOTTY LIGHT SHOWER HERE AND THERE. NOTHING REALLY SIGNIFICANT AND MORE RAIN EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH A HIGH OF 41. SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER ON 43. NOTICE HOW THE WET PATTERN SETS UP? BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS IT’S IN THE FORM OF RAIN AND IT’S GOING TO REMAIN THAT WAY EVEN THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
