Good Saturday bloggers,
UPDATE:
There is one last band of heavy snow extending from Orrick to Overland Park. It will move southwest and out of the city by noon. If you are in this band a new 1/2" of snow is possible.
We are in for a windy and cold Saturday afternoon with blowing snow. What is next?
The 6 minute video below details the week ahead.

EARLIER BLOG:
The third chance of snow this season brings KC its biggest snowfall of the season so far. This system decided to not take a last minute turn. It was also set up to not produce sleet.
The back edge of the accumulating snow is moving south-southwest from northern Missouri as a storm system to our west drops south.
Snowfall around the area are in the 2"-4" category. Paved surfaces have 1"-2" with a few locations at 2"-3".
These are radar indicated snow totals, so your ruler may be measuring differntly.
The snow was coming down before 6 AM with a 5-15 mph wind with temperatures 28-30. Now, the wind has picked up from the north and northeast, gusting 30-40 mph. This is creating blowing snow along with bringing in colder air. Temperatures will be down to around 20° by 10 AM. So, the wet and slush will freeze up.
Here is our weather timeline:
We will updated this blog later this morning.
Have a great weekend. Stay safe and healthy.
GO CHIEFS!
