Good morning Blue Springs! Happy Monday. I hope and pray that your weekend was blessed and free of all drama. Hope you got those winter coats dust It Off and those gloves and stocking caps pulled out ready for this week’s winter temperatures. I don’t see any rain as of right now. I will have to check before 6am report time for the National Weather Service.

MODEL DISCUSSION
Current models show a misty drizzly day today. With measurable amounts happening around 3pm or so. Rain will continue into the evening hours. By about 10pm we will receive rain snow mix. The system should be out by midnight or so. Snow amounts overnight about 1 in according to the models. Snow will start back up by 4am on Halloween, increasing snow amounts to 1.9 inches total over those couple of days. That would be a more accurate reading 12 inches that GFS is predicting. Regardless we will have some measurable amount of snow. As we draw closer to Halloween we will get a more favorable amount of snow totals. As for the ice possibilities looks like we may get a trace in Jackson County area, not sure if it will be in Blue Springs or not around 10am Tuesday.
That is about it for today, be safe driving to and from work. Till next time.
