Winter Storm: Jan. 28-30 Update #3

Heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain already falling across the Oklahoma and Texas this afternoon; with a mix of some severe weather as well with damaging winds gusts possible with a bow echo moving just south of the stationary boundary in northern Texas.  Expect the precipitation to continue to move northeast and into southern Kansas and Missouri by this evening, and into central Kansas and Missouri by the overnight hours tonight. The precipitation should come to an end over Kansas by Friday evening, and over Missouri by Saturday morning.  Areas south of I70 will see snowfall accumulations, however, areas just along I70 and just south will likely see 3" or less. Once again this is a very tight gradient of snowfall and will increase rapidly with southward extent.  The heaviest snowfall amounts will likely occur along and south of Highway 54, where 6-10" seems likely...

Will be busy watching the storm progress this afternoon, with an update possible later tonight...
