Snow in November! What are the odds?

SWMO – Actually, the odds of seeing some snow in southwest Missouri in November are better than you might think! Areas like Joplin and Springfield can see up to .7 of an inch of the white stuff on any given year. This year, some experts are calling for cooler and wetter conditions than normal, so yes, I think the odds are somewhat fair to good.

Even soon as mid November, the National Weather Service has already begun to hint at a chance for wintry precipitation as a large arctic core of cold air settles into the Nation's middle. This shot of cold are will prevent the daytime temperatures from climbing out of the low 30's with nighttime temps falling into the 20's! Any moisture that makes it into the area could easily fall as snow or sleet. So, if you're a weather watcher, things could begin to get interesting much earlier this season...
