Winter Storm: Mar. 19/20 Update #7

A nice lull in the snowfall this morning as the frontal precipitation has moved off to the east, and the first indications of a deformation/trowal band are taking shape across north-central Oklahoma into southeast Kansas and moving northeast.  This will be the next round of snow that will likely enter the area after 10am and continue into a good portion of the afternoon hours.  Will monitor this band of snow which will likely be several more inches of snow to areas along/south of I35/I335 and I70 in Kansas, and along/south of I70 in western Missouri.

Current snowfall totals vary across the region, and stretch from the Texas panhandle and southwest Oklahoma clear up into southern Wisconsin!  A widespread 2.5-4" occurred over the Kansas City Metro area, with areas just southeast receiving less amounts as the change from rain/sleet to snow occurred later and the heavier band of precipitation were north.

Live stream will likely begin ~11AM this morning as the next round of snow moves into the area. Details regarding locations are still unknown at this time as I'm taking a wait and see approach to how this next band develops.  An additional update is likely when I prepare to head out the door and begin Live streaming.
