The first of these of these hazards is ongoing this morning in the form of a dense fog advisory. This advisory is covering areas south of the missouri river as warm air is advecting into the area over a snowpack. Visibilities will occasionally improve in areas of showers however visibilities will mainly be reduced to a quarter mile or less in these locations. Further north, fog will be lighter where areas of showers and isolated thunderstorms are more likely to persist. There may be a break in shower this morning however drizzle will persist before a second round of showers and some scattered thunderstorms moves into the area late this morning into the afternoon. The rest of our hazards will occur this evening through tonight as a strong surface low moves through northwest missouri into central iowa. As it does it will drag a strong cold front through the area. Very strong CAA behind the front will quickly usher in cooler temperatures and cause precipitation to transition to sleet and over to snow. Accumulations of 1 to 4 inches will be possible across far northwestern missouri where a winter weather advisory is in place. In addition to the snow, there will also, be very strong northwest winds sustained between 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph. The strong winds coupled with the snow will cause issues with visibility due to blowing snow and as such a blizzard warning has be issued for atchison county in missouri. Areas in the surrounding advisory may need to be upgraded to a blizzard warning as they will experience the strong winds as well however, at this time accumulations are expected to be too minimal to cause visibility issues. Although only few will see accumulating snow, the entire CWA will experience the aforementioned strong winds and as such a wind advisory has been issued for the entire cwa. Snow will exit the area overnight tonight with winds subsiding below advisory criteria by sunrise on Sunday. Sunday through Tuesday will look to be much more tranquil but still cool with below normal temperatures. Continued CAA on the back side of the storm system on Sunday will keep highs in the upper 20s to the lower 40s south. High pressure will move into the area on Monday providing copious sunshine but weak mixing. Consequently, temperatures will remain cool with highs in the upper 20s north to the upper 40s south. Tuesday there will be the slight chance for a passing shot of light snow across northern missouri with highs again in the upper 20s north to upper 40s south. Wednesday and Thursday there will be chances for light snow as |
models advertise quick moving disturbance moving through the region on zonal flow aloft. The main limiting factor will be the lack of moisture for these disturbances to work with. Friday, model solutions are much different with the ec showing another weak shortwave moving through the region on continued quasi-zonal flow aloft while the GFS shows a much strong upper level trough moving through the central plains. As such, forecast confidence is low beyond Thursday. Aviation (for the 18z tafs through 18z Sunday afternoon) issued at 1157 am cst Sat feb 23 2019 the strong low pressure system approaching the area has brought and will continue to bring a variety of concerns for this taf period. Low visibilities are being observed across the area, but they are trending to improve and should continue doing so, slowly, throughout the afternoon and evening. The exception is from about stj northwest and along the mo ia border. Strong winds and falling snow will likely keep visibility low through much of the overnight hours. Ceilings will fluctuate a little between MVFR ifr lifr this evening but should improve after midnight rather quickly from west to east. Scattered rain showers with isolated to scattered storms should continue this afternoon. Then this evening, the low pressure system will begin exiting the area. Rain chances will continue, with a change over to snow in far nw mo and a wintry mix in adjacent counties. The wintry mix is expected to reach as far south as the kc metro tonight, before the system completely exits the area. Once it does exit, conditions should improve rapidly. The center of the surface low should move northeast from south-central ks through stj up into southeastern ia. This will shift winds to the northwest and also create very windy conditions behind the cold front. Sustained northwest winds between 20-25 kts with gusts up to 45 kts are expected. The peak winds will move from west to east between 04z-12z. Winds should gradually decrease throughout the day Sunday. Eax watches warnings advisories Ks...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
