LOOK AT WHAT IS COMING MY WAY!!!
...MAJOR WINTER STORM POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...

AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE OZARKS AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS FROM WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS WILL THEN USHER IN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH MOST OF THE OZARKS FALLING TO NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING BY DAWN ON THURSDAY.

MEANWHILE...A STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE APPROACHING STORM WILL CONTINUE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY NIGHT. WITH COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE...MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BE FROZEN IN NATURE.

THE PRECIPITATION WOULD INITIALLY CHANGE TO FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET... CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE OZARKS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. DUE TO WARM GROUND TEMPERATURES..ICE ACCUMULATION WOULD INITIALLY BE ON ELEVATED SURFACES SUCH AS TREES...POWERLINES...AND OVERPASSES. TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL BE STEADY OR SLOWLY FALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY...THUS MAKING ALL EXPOSED AREAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ICE ACCUMULATION.

MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WOULD THEN CHANGE TO SNOW BY THURSDAY NIGHT AS COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WOULD THEREFORE BE POSSIBLE ON TOP OF ANY ICE THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN. BRISK NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS MAY CAUSE SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW.

THIS STORM IS STILL IN ITS DEVELOPING STAGES AND THEREFORE THE FUTURE TRACK AND INTENSITY REMAINS UNCERTAIN. PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR LATER FORECASTS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL WINTER STORM.
