Slippery conditions are possible Saturday afternoon as the Kansas City area prepares to see its first measurable snowfall of the season. First Alert Meteorologist Katie Horner says the amount of snow you receive will vary greatly depending on where you live and our dew point. Regardless, expect some type of weather impact starting Saturday afternoon. The area will see rain first before changing to snow in the late afternoon or early evening, potentially around 5 pm for the central Kansas City metro area. The system will leave the Kansas City area early Sunday morning, but may leave behind slick roads. Snowfall totals are likely to be highest in northeastern Kansas and northwest Missouri. (Don’t it always seem to work that way?) In areas from Topeka, Kansas, to Maryville, Missouri, up to two and four inches can be seen. From the Kansas City metro area to Ottawa and Chillicothe, you can expect to see between half an inch and two inches. East of that line we may only see rain or dust. If you’re headed to Kansas, Colorado, or Nebraska, make sure you have plans to stay safe, as areas west and north of the metro will be hardest hit by this winter storm. Remember that causeways and bridges freeze first, and take it easy on the roads if you’re heading out anytime between Saturday afternoon and mid-morning Sunday.
