During the afternoon we've seen moderate sleet fall through the metro...and now, as expected last night, we're seeing that transition to snow take place. Accumulations thus far have been limited in the metro, but are increasing to the north of KC. Reports indicate upwards of 2"-nearly 3" has fallen already from near St Joe to Plattsburg To Kearney to Leavenworth. This will be the area, up through the IA border that sees the most acumulations. Last night I painted a rough 4-8" swath in this corridor and that looks about right by the time things are said and done.
Closer to KC...amounts will vary widely from about 1/2"-2" of sleet/snow towards the SE side of the metro near the Lees Summit/Pleasant Hill/Harrisonville area to upwards of 3-4" up towards KCI. Again trending higher the farther N/NW you get into the metro.
Roads are slick in many areas north of I-70 now, especially in parts of Platte and Buchanon County so watch out for that. here is a look at regional radar from about 20 minutes ago showing the trends...
We'll be fighting these periods of snow through the evening hours...
