Two more rounds of snow early this week

Two more rounds of light to moderate snow are expected through the early part of next week.

Round 1 will take place Monday morning through the afternoon across far northern Missouri. The higher amounts should stay north of the area, across Iowa, but far northern Missouri could still see 1-3 inches, perhaps some higher amounts closest to the IA border.

Round 2 will take place Tuesday morning, and could last through the evening. Both the morning and evening commutes on Tuesday could be impacted with some snow. While we are expecting widespread 1-3 inch amounts along and south of the HWY 36 corridor, there could be some higher amounts along a narrow east/west band near the I-70 corridor. Forecast certainty is still on the low to medium side, but will increase with time, so keep tuned into the forecasts.
