A short and quick update for the northern plains as the snow is beginning in some areas with the first light wave of precipitation. Other small bands of snow will occur tonight and into early tomorrow with only light accumulation expected. The heavier snows should begin Sunday afternoon into the night for areas of Iowa, however areas of KS/NE may see heavier snow during the morning on Sunday and areas towards Chicago will likely see the heavier snows Sunday night into Monday. Also of significance with this storm is going to be ice accumulations that are occurring in KS/MO and into portions of IL today and into tomorrow.
Total snow accumulations as you can see on the latest map are fairly close to the previous forecast although total amounts are slightly down. Areas within the heaviest amounts will likely see 3-6 inches of snow, with some localized amounts up to 8 inches possible depending on the location of heavy snow bands. Map link is below:

Next update will likely come later on Sunday, likely early afternoon for the final update on potential snow amounts. Until then…
