The main area of winter weather arrives 4-6 on Wednesday morning and then spreads east. It will end like light snow later in the afternoon. Precipitation types will be a wide mixture. Rain is probably south of the Highway 160 over southern Missouri and much of Arkansas. The exception is the area around Eureka Springs that could see icing. Beat and freezing rain is possible north of Highway 160 to just south of I-44. Sleet can sometimes be heavy. Snow is probably north of I-44.

The problem of predicting accumulations is at least twice. One is this rainfall comes during the day when infrared radiation can melt the ice and the snow. Air temperatures float just above freezing, which will also contribute to the melting.

One to two inches is expected along the I-44 corridor. Northwest of I-44 2-5 inches is possible. Up to a third of an empty ice cream is possible east of Springfield along the Highway 60 and then Fanning out to just south of Rolla.

An ice cream ribbon falls south of the snow. Highest sneak cumulations will be northwest of I-44.(Maxuser | Ky3)

Very cold air then sets in for Thursday. Readings in the morning can fall to the low to the middle of teens and reach only the top 20s in the afternoon. A mostly sunny day is expected. Cloud -Cover spreads back over Ozarks late on Friday. Strong south winds will quickly initiate hot air back into the region. High temperatures should jump to the mid -40s.

Another round of snow is possible for areas northwest of I-44 Saturday night.(Maxuser | Ky3)

A first alarm is released for Saturday evening to area northwest of I-44. Rain spreads over the area on Saturday. When the cold front passes in late afternoon, very cold air on the back of the storm will change the rain over to snow. Models advertise more inches by Snow Northwest for I-44 by Sunday morning.
